2. A word of caution is in order: of the six possible ways to assign a, b, c to the three crystal axes, at least three different versions can be found in literature. Here, in order to conform to recent experimental works we follow the crystallographic convention (Cmca symmetry) while in our previous works [10, 22] we followed the historic (pseudotetragonal) convention. In the latter case the b and c̄ axis are reversed
3. For points and directions of the Brillouin Zone, we have used the standard notation for the Cmca space group (N. 64) as reported for instance in reference [23], as opposed to the experimental work of reference [12] where the notation for the non-standard Bbcm setting has been used
