First, adding a restriction, the lattice maintains rigidity when solute atom migrates to the saddle point. In this step, the hybridization classes of every atom do not change. Then, the restriction is loosed and the atoms are relaxed under the coulomb repulsive forces. It is supposed that the energy needed in the first step would be compensated partly by the second step.

First, adding a restriction, the lattice maintains rigidity when solute atom migrates to the saddle point. In this step, the hybridization classes of every atom do not change. Then, the restriction is loosed and the atoms are relaxed under the coulomb repulsive forces. It is supposed that the energy needed in the first step would be compensated partly by the second step.
