33. This geometry constraint is achieved by fixing the axial and azimuthal positions of Fe and coordinates of another two B and N atoms (far from the adsorption site). Because of this extra constraint, the relative energy of four stable adsorption configurations appearing in the diffusion path is not same as the results obtained from fully structral relaxation (E 0.1 eV). As discussed later, this inconsistency is not against the main conclusion.

39. This kind of "3DBs" geometry is a metastable state for B vacancy, while not available in N vacancy, because of the rebond of B-B bond induced by the curvature effect. In this case, the "3DBs"-like N atomic vacancy is obtained by applying a geometry constraint to its local structure.
