7. The gradient-corrected exchange-correlation [Bernstein, Lee, Yang, and Primakoff (BLYP)] functional used here is from A. D. Becke [Phys. Rev. A 38, 3098 (1988)] and C. Lee, W. Yang, and R. Parr [Phys. Rev. B 37, 785 (1988)]. Norm-conserving numerical pseudo-potentials were generated for Al and O with the procedure of N. Troullier and J. L. Martins [ibid. 43, 1993 (1991)], and a local analytic pseudopotential was derived for H. This is essentially a softened Coulomb potential with a core radius of 0.25 atomic units. Electron wave functions are expanded in a plane-wave basis set with an energy cutoff of 70 rydbergs (Ry). We used the Car-Parrinello Molecular Dynamics code in the parallelized 2.5 version (developed by J. Hutter and copyrighted by IBM, Armonk, NY). All calculations were performed on a 32-node IBM RS6000 SP at the IBM Watson Research Laboratory (Yorktown Heights, NY).

10. In the MD runs, a value of 400 au was used for the fictitious electron mass of the Car-Parrinello Lagrangian multipliers (6), and each hydrogen molecule was replaced by deuterium to improve the separation between electronic and ionic degrees of freedom. The time step in the Verlet algorithm for the integration of the equations of motions was ∼0.1 fs.
