67. We used the Wigner exchange-correlation functional [E. Wigner, Phys. Rev. 46, 1002 (1934)] and equivalent k point meshes
68. [S. Froyen, Phys. Rev. B 39, 3168 (1989)] corresponding to 60 points in the irreducible part of the fcc Brillouin zone. [Tests with a (Formula presented) special points mesh showed negligible differences in the calculated (Formula presented).] The muffin-tin radii were (Formula presented), (Formula presented), and the basis set was defined by (Formula presented).
69. Valence states were calculated semirelativistically (no spin orbit) [A. H. MacDonald, W. E. Pickett, and D. D. Koelling, J. Phys. C 13, 2675 (1980).
