29. In ref 23 we used a lower plane wave kinetic energy cutoff of 20 hartrees. For PTh and PITN this suffices to converge the geometry on a scale of 0.02 Å and the band gaps on a scale of 0.1 eV. However, for nitrogen, and especially in order to obtain a well-converged N-N bond length, the cutoff has to be increased to 30 hartrees.
