19. The 6 × 6 × 6 k -point grid used here has been verified to give sufficiently converged results for total energies, lattice parameters, and phonon frequencies, and thus also for thermal expansion. However, the magnetic moment for Ni does change upon using a denser k -point mesh, and for a 10 × 10 × 10 k -point grid the values obtained are 0.61 μ B and 0.63 μ B for LDA and GGA, respectively.
