24. Spin-polarized treatment is not considered in this study because it dose not have much affect on energy difference and energy barriers compared to the calculation without spin-polarization (Ref.).
25. Under realistic experimental condition (temperature ∼1000 K) of irradiation by electron microscopes, it is estimated to be 2× 10-5 s from Arrhenius relation and ab initio energy barrier (1.65 eV).
