18. in these calculations, the GGA exchange-correlation functional and ultrasoft pseudopotentials are employed. Convergence tests give the kinetic energy cutoffs for wave functions and charge density as 30 and 800 Ry, respectively. We sample the BZ using 8×8×8 uniform Monkhorst-Pack grid and a Methfessel-Paxton first-order smearing of 0.05 Ry. In the phonon calculation, a 4×4×4 q mesh in the first BZ was used in the interpolation of the force constants.

20. we also employed ultrasoft pseudopotentials, and convergence tests give the kinetic energy cutoffs and k -points sets as 310.0 eV and a 7×7×7 uniform Monkhorst-Pack grid, respectively.
