25. We tested different k -point sampling by calculating the energy of bulk diamond in an orthorhombic unit cell which was then replicated two times along the [110] direction and one time along the [1 10] to construct the slab with the (2×1) periodicity employed in surface calculations. In the latter calculations we used an equivalent k -point sampling to that identified of convergence for bulk energy. The total energy of the bulk unit cell, which contains four atoms, obtained with a 8×8 MP grid differs from that obtained with a 10×10 MP grid of 0.9 meV; while the energy difference obtained with the 10×10 grid and with a 12×12 grid is of 0.01 meV. We thus considered to have reached the convergence of total energy with a 10×10 MP grid.
