For carbon materials, it is commonly agreed that the local density approximation (LDA) leads to a reasonable description. However, the LDA will give a lattice constant of 3.42 for bulk Ni and for a 4×4 reconstruction of Ni(111), it leads to a C60-C60 distance of 9.67, while the GGA will give a more reasonable lattice constant, 3.52, and the corresponding distance between C60 and C60 is 9.95. Therefore we adopt the GGA.
