13. We used grid spacing 0.2 Å, periodicity in graphene plane, and vacuum of 6 Å in perpendicular direction. Calculations were spin-polarized with 2×2 k -points with 60 carbon atoms. Structures were optimized to all force components less than 0.05 eV/Å. Diffusion path calculations used one k -point and 47 carbon atoms in a unit cell.

19. The paths in Fig. were optimized to maximum forces of: I and II 0.1 eV/Å (7 images in total), III 0.3 eV/Å (12 images), and IV 0.3 eV/Å (11 images).
