19. In DFT calculations, local density approximation was taken for the exchange correlation functional and the projector augmented-wave method (Ref.) for the electron-ion interaction. The cutoff energy for the plane-wave basis set was 400 eV and the k-points sampling of the supercell Brillouin zone was made at least as dense as 16 16 for the primitive cell.
