32. Especially, for the P 63 /mmc and P-6m2 structures with very similar total energies, the cutoff energy of 1000 eV and the k -point sampling scheme, 15×15×5 and 15×15×10, were adopted to give convergence of the total energies better than 0.1 meV/f.u. The effect of k -point sampling on the total-energy calculations had been eliminated by the carefully additional check using very large k -point sets of 30×30×10 and 30×30×20. During the subsequent geometrical optimization, all forces on atoms were converged to less than 0.001 eV/ and the total stress tensor was reduced to the order of 0.001 GPa.
