12. 0 + w is taken to smooth out finite supercell effects, as in Ref. 7.
13. The supercell along ΓK used to model the disorder typically has a size of 39a. Note that the use of this supercell does not require the number of plane waves to be increased, since disorder-induced scattering is treated by perturbation theory. All loss results include an average over calculations with six different random distributions corresponding to the same disorder parameter Δr/a.
