11. We used generalized gradient approximation (GGA) "PBE" [J. P. Perdew, K. Burke, M. Ernzerhof, Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1996) 3865], employing the computer code VASP [G. Kresse, J. Furthmüller, J. Comput. Mater. Sci. 6 (1996) 15] for the calculations. The electronic wave functions were expanded in plane waves up to a cut-off energy of 37 Ry, and the projector-augment wave method [P.E. Blöchl, Phys. Rev. B 50 (1994) 17953; G. Kresse, D. Joubert, Phys. Rev. B 59 (1999) 1758] was used to describe the interaction between the valence electrons with the nuclei and core electrons. The first Brillouin zone was sampled by a 4 × 8 grid of Monkhorst-Pack k points, and the occupation numbers were broadened with a Fermi-Dirac distribution of width 50 meV.
