28. During the relaxation of ionic positions, the x and y coordinates of the TM atom are fixed and the z coordinate is left free. Also, the farthest C atom is fixed in the cell in order to ensure the relative position of the TM atom with respect to the underlying graphene.
29. We choose nine equidistant points along the path. During relaxation, we fix the y and z coordinates of the closest carbon atoms forming the C-C bridge and x and y coordinates of the Ti atom for each configuration, leaving the rest of the coordinates free.

31. We note that the DFT method underestimates the band gaps found in this work (Ref.). However, this situation does not affect our conclusions in any essential manner.
