16. Typical values of parameters for transition metals are u∼u′∼25eV, j∼1eV, and |P|∼0.2-0.3eV-1.
17. We used the linear muffin-tin-orbital (LMTO) method: O.K. Andersen, Phys. Rev. B PLRBAQ 0556-2805 12, 3060 (1975), with experimental lattice parameters. The MAE was calculated in the mesh of 105 k points in the first BZ. 10.1103/PhysRevB.12.3060
18. The LMTO method was extended beyond the nearly orthogonal representation, which explains a good agreement with accurate full-potential calculations and some difference from previous calculations: e.g., I.V. Solovyev, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 52, 13419 (1995). The Wannier functions were constructed as orthonormalized LMTOs. 10.1103/PhysRevB.52.13419

23. These values are still smaller than MLCo=0.26μB and MLPt=0.09μB extracted from XMCD measurements: W. Grange, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 62, 1157 (2000). 10.1103/PhysRevB.62.1157
24. However, the experimental values rely on a number of assumptions made around the use of atomic sum rules.
25. The experimental situation for US is rather controversial. The measured MAE at 165? K is about 1? meV. Results of extrapolation to 0? K vary from 7.3? meV [D.L. Tillwick and P. de V. du Plessis, J. Magn. Magn. Mater. 3, 329 (1976), shown in Fig.? 4] till 86.0? meV JMMMDC 0304-8853 10.1016/0304-8853(76)90099-8
