7. The cutoff parameter RKmax=7, with local orbitals and the augmented plane wave (APW) extension was used. For the local density approximation (LDA)+U approach we took U=5eV and J=1eV. For most self-consistent calculations 54 inequivalent k points in the fourfolded Brillouin zone were utilized; meshes with up to ∼1000 inequivalent points were used for testing and for analyzing the DOS. Gradient corrections were included in all calculations.
