16. We used the DACAPO (http://www.fysik.dtu.dk/ CAMPOS) ultrasoft plane-wave code in the generalized gradient approximation (PW91) and with dipole correction enabled, a 4-by-12 k-point sampling, and a 30 Ry energy cutoff.
17. Being based on a pseudopotential approach, our DFT calculations are approximate only in the determination of the wave function core.
