11. At ambient pressure, the electron-binding energy for Li1s orbital is 54.7 eV (Ref.). Since the Fermi energy of Li is around 4.7 eV (Ref.), a rough estimate of the core-valence separation is 50.0 eV.

22. Since both the all-electron full potential linearized plane-wave codes EXCITING and WIEN2K produced almost identical results, therefore, only the results obtained from EXCITING are reported here. In the AE FP-LAPW calculations, since the size of a Li atom is very small, a small muffin-tin radius (R Kmax =10) together with a large plane-wave expansion (lmax =12) must be used in order to achieve converged results.
