20. We used the norm-conserving pseudopotentials NCPS97 constructed by K. Kobayashi. See K. Kobayashi, Comput. Mater. Sci.14, 72 (1999). The inclusion of the nonlocal part of pseudopotentials requires a trivial modification of the energy functional Eq. (1).

23. There has been much discussion about the physical significance of fractionally occupied states, e.g., see Ref. 3. From a pragmatic point of view, however, fractional occupation numbers provide the smoothest path to the ground-state geometry as seen in Fig. 11(a).
