29. Please note that the polarization entering the calculation is not the spontaneous polarization but the polarization which is screened by Thomas-Fermi screening.
30. Reports on the permittivity of Cu are rare. Since it is not ionic we assume a smaller permittivity than the one of SRO. ε M = 2 is in agreement with Ref..
