This work presents a theoretical study of iron and chromium impurities located at substitutional site and their complex with a vacancy by the density functional theory. Diffusion barriers separating the recombination centers such as the Fe_i-V(C_ri-V) and Fe_Si(Cr_Si) has been studied by the nudged elastic band method for positively charged and neutral states of these defects. We found that the barrier heights separating Fe_Si(Cr_Si) from interstitials are ≥1.0 eV, which complicates transition of the substitutional impurities to interstitial sites.
