Simulation of the creation of a defect structure of dislocation-free germanium single crystals

•At high temperatures in germanium there is a barrier against the recombination of intrinsic point defects.•Decrease in the barrier is due to a decrease in the configuration entropy with decreasing temperature.•Vacancy and interstitial atoms of germanium find their drains on impurity atoms.•Formatio...
