In this study, supercell containing smaller number of atoms (224 atoms) was employed to use the first-principles calculations. GB atomic arrangement did not change significantly with the use of 224-atom supercell. 10.1103/PhysRevB.72.064109

29. It is considered that Zn at 2 and 3 of the undoped ZnO GB has four nearest neighbor O. Thus, the longer Pr-O bonds were formed with replacing the Zn with Pr. Distance between the Zn and the O was ∼2.70, which was longer than length of Zn-O bonds in ZnO bulk by more than 34%. On the other hand, lengths of the longer Pr-O bonds (∼2.50 or ∼2.51) for Pr(2) and Pr(3) was similar to those of Pr-O bonds in Pr2 O3 bulks.
