22. The energy difference per atom is defined as the total-energy difference divided by the number of atoms including wurtzitelike stacking sequence. In the present study, these numbers are 12 and 18 for the interfaces including one- and two-bilayer W segments, respectively.
23. For instance, the energy differences are 3.1 and 4.4 meV/atom for bulk ZnS and SiC, respectively, which exhibit polytypes. See, C.-Y. Yeh, Z. W. Lu, S. Froyen, and A. Zunger, Phys. Rev. B 46, 10086 (1992); 10.1103/PhysRevB.46.10086

25. In order to calculate the activation energy, we use a constraint optimization in an (N-1) -dimensional space, where N is the ionic degree of freedom that is three times the number of atoms in the unit cell.
