22. Spin-polarized calculations have also been performed, finding that the defected-oxygenated tube and the defected-oxygenated tube with adsorbed gas molecules are not spin polarized.
23. A numerical atomic orbital basis set of quality double ζ plus one polarization is used for all the atoms: with an energy shift of 272 meV for C and N, and the O and H orbital basis sets optimized for H2 O [J. Junquera, Phys. Rev. B 64, 235111 (2001)]. The real-space grid cutoff is 300 Ry. 10.1103/PhysRevB.64.235111
