18. Calculations have been performed in the high-temperature perovskite structure (a=3.905) as well as in the low-temperature tetragonal structure (group No.140, I4/mcm, a=5.529, c=7.824, Ox=0.244%). Optimizing the O position in the calculations yields Ox=0.223. Nb doping was simulated by changing the nuclear charge of Ti from 22 to 22+x, or that of Sr from 38 to 38+x. Fermi-surface integrals were evaluated using the k-point meshes up to 28×28×28. Our first principles results show a substantially weaker effect of the tetragonality compared to the semiempirical calculations of Mattheiss (less than 4meV splitting of the otherwise degenerate states at Γ, compared to ∼20meV). This, in fact, resolves a long-standing controversy between the band structure of Ref. and the deHaas-vanAlphen measurements of Gregory.
