27. We have calculated atomic exchange splitting within the exchange correlation potential as used to calculate other properties. The results are obtained using VASP using a very large unit cell of length on the order of 30 Å.

32. Two softwares-namely, VASP and CASTEP-are used only for the verification of results. These results are found to be consistent with each other. The eigenvalue spectra of the atomic free atom is taken from VASP results. This is because the VASP gives the flexibility of filling in. the number of electrons, which is required to get the correct exchange splitting of 2p levels. All the other results presented in the paper are obtained by CASTEP.
