24. A slight improvement of the unscreened BBOP can be achieved by simply increasing the cutoff to r1 =1.95 Å and r2 =2.25 Å as in Ref.. This does not cure bond breaking.

28. Our plane-wave DFT calculations using the CASTEP code (Ref.) and employing generalized gradient approximation (Ref.), ultrasoft pseudopotentials (Ref.), and a plane-wave cutoff of 350 eV were converged to 0.01 eV/Å mean force, 0.001 Å displacement, and 10-6 eV total energy. Forces for Brenner and DFTB were converged to 10-4 eV/Å.
