18. In principle, our calculations should be denoted as GGA - U. Nonetheless, following the tradition, we use LDA + U here.

29. LDA + U calculations for the low-T structure have also been performed using (i) U = 5.0 eV, J = 0.89 eV, and GGA exchange-correlation (x-c) potential, (ii) U = 4.5 eV, J = 0.5, 0.7, 1.1 eV and GGA x-c potential, and (iii) U = 4.5, 5.0, 5.5 eV, J = 0.89 eV and LDA x-c potential. In all the cases, the charge-orbital ordering is obtained with the charge separations being within 0.1-0.2e, indicating that it is robust with respect to GGA or LDA x-c potential and also to the reasonable variation of U and J used.
