18. F for both FM and AFM states has the same value, which is reasonable because their calculated total charge density has no remarkable difference.

22. Of course, there are many more possible Mn locations in the 64-atom and larger supercells, but it is good enough to represent the real situation with the Mn-Mn distance ranging from 2.45 to 9.80 Å.
