49. Our test calculations show that the effect of the electronic temperature on the vacancy formation energy of fcc Al is less than 0.01 eV at 500 K. Furthermore, previous molecular dynamics simulations (Ref.), accounting for the anharmonic lattice vibrations, demonstrated that the temperature dependence of the vacancy formation enthalpy is negligible up to ∼ 500 K. Therefore, we consider that comparing the present theoretical results obtained for 0 K to the room-temperature experimental data introduces errors that are within the numerical errors of our calculations.
