29. In apparent contradiction to experimental observation, the SC phase was found to be unstable within the harmonic approximation using the computational techniques employed in this study. The result may indicate the SC structure is entropically stable or there is stronger anharmonicity for the interatomic interactions. In the latter case, it has been shown previously that, e.g., in MgCNi3 (Ref.), phonon instability helps to enhance electron-phonon coupling.

35. There are 11 different types of Archimedean tiling and each can be denoted by the symbol (p1 q1, p1 q2, ps qs), with p1, p2,... ps denoting regular p -gons, and q1, q2,... qs the number of adjacent regular p -gons of the same type that share the same vertex.
