9. [9] These values are larger than the respective experimental ones, 3.615 Å, 4.37 Å, 4.50 Å, and 4.98 Å, and are in agreement with the calculations by C. Stampfl and C. G. Van de Valle (Phys. Rev. B 59, 5521 (1999)). Our GGA values are to be compared to the values obtained using the local density approximation(LDA) to the DFT which are usually smaller than the experimental values.
