(color online) The D6h defect formed by contracting the Ge–Ge bonds by 3.5% of the grey (yellow online) hexagon (a) and the corresponding band structure along the Y′–ΓY path (b). The corresponding band-decomposed charge densities at isovalue of ∼ 0.01 e/Å3 for the split πa1, πa2, πz1, and πz2 bands are shown in panel (c).
