15. 2- deflections in their model and the observed space group of Cm2m, Hasegawa et al. propose a statistically-disordered model in which equal amounts of the deflected chain and its mirror image are present in the lattice. We have not included the chain's mirror image in our present study.

32. At 50 Ry plane-wave energy cut-off, there exists some core overlap between the C and F atoms. A set of 60 Ry pseudopotentials were constructed and atomic relaxations for the planar-zigzag structure were repeated. The relaxed 60 Ry structure was identical to the 50 Ry structure. In addition, the spontaneous polarization for the 60 Ry structure was identical to that of the 50 Ry structure.

51. In addition to the structural consideration, both spontaneous polarization and Born effective charges for the alternatively-deflected structure were almost identical to those of the planar-zigzag structure.
