Tokyo Ab initio Program Package is used for band calculations, within the generalized gradient approximation to the exchange correlation functional, using a plane-wave basis set and normconserving pseudopotentials. The energy cutoff is set to 49 Ry. For details for this code, see J. Yamauchi, M. Tsukada, S. Watanabe, and O. Sugino: Phys. Rev. B 54 (1996) 5586.
