19. In Refs., they construct Wannier functions from the results of first-principles calculations and then describe the electronic states with tight-binding models. They then were able to calculate AHC using a fine mesh of the Brillouin zone.

34. For 4 s and 4 p orbitals, the damping rate can be significantly different. However, contributions from those electrons are much smaller than those from d electrons and the precise values of damping rate for 4 s and 4 p electrons do not matter.
35. This relation also holds at finite temperatures.

45. In Fe, σ x y ↑ < 0, σ x y ↓ > 0, and σ x y ≃ - 2 (σ x y ↑ - σ x y ↓) > 0. In contrast to the cases with Co and Ni, | σ x y ↑ | ≃ | σ x y ↓ |, and both components positively contribute to σ x y.
