  The configurations of the molecules nearest to a single vacancy in solid CO2
were studied by the Metropolis Monte Carlo (MC) simulation at temperatures T =
0, 100, and 200 K. It was found that distorted orientational configurations at
T = 0 and 100 K became uniform at 200 K. The MC simulation was useful to study
the local configurations around the vacancy. This work is a continuation of a
precedent paper, arXiv:1711.04976 [cond-mat.mtrl-sci] (2017).
