Which defect reactions at T>250 C can produce more V2O ?
• V2 +O → V2O
• V+VO → V2O
Should exists a source of V
• Most probable VO can be the V source – it dissociates during annealing at T >250 C
• VO → V + O

• Simulations based on a more complex system of defect reactions show that both V2O and V2O2 defects should form at elevated temperature.
• With VO as single initial source for vacancies and for the irradiation dose range investigated here: V2O2 can be produced in a similar concentration with X center V2O can be produced in a concentration higher than V2 but in a much smaller concentration than of the X center
• Further studies are under discussion regarding the existence of additional single V migrating from Cz substrate.
