Supercell approach: a Stylized representation of periodic crystal (black bordered cubes as unit cells). The supercell (red cuboid) is extracted from the periodic crystal with one facet (blue plane) as embedded defect within the crystal. b Comparison: supercells with a defect plane (blue) fulfilling (left) and violating (right) the coincidence condition for the superposition and separation steps: i) Inversion/ mirroring of the supercell along the defect plane. ii) Superposition of the supercell with its inversed duplicate. iii) Separated SPS including the defect plane as domain boundary
