17. CASTEP (Cambridge Serial Total Energy Package) was created and developed by Professor M.C. Payne and others in the 1980s. It is a computational procedure based upon the density functional theory (DFT) referenced in [12]. Professor M.C. Payne and his colleagues are located in the Theoretical Condensed Matter group in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge University. Dr Chris J. Pickard kindly performed and provided the calculations on the glitter structure to the authors. The details of the CASTEP program are described in Rev. Mod. Phys., 64, 1045 (1992). For the present implementation of CASTEP, used to optimize the structural parameters of glitter, ultrasoft pseudopotentials were employed, the basis set had an energy cutoff of 400eV and k-point sampling was done with a 10 × 10 × 4 mesh.
