48. Due to a software-imposed limit of 10000 basis functions per unit cell, a truncated basis set had to be used for {11 [Ge9]48n}. Two sets of d-functions were removed, resulting in a {97631/7631/6} contraction. The relative energy was then estimated by comparison to the energy obtained for the {21 [Ge9]n}-sheet with the same truncated basis set.

53. For Ga, we used a {864111/64111/41} basis set optimized for periodic calculations (cf. CRYSTAL basis set library at http://www.crystal.unito.it), augmented with one additional d-polarization function with an exponent of ad =0.207 taken from ref. [14]. A Monkhorst-Pack shrinking factor (SHRINK) of 8 was used in the calculation of the cubic structure.
