50. Even if nuclei are allowed to relax, standard DFT is known incapable of modeling small polarons in real materials. Beyond DFT methods, e.g., DFT + U and hybrid DFT, have recently been employed to model small polarons, Ref.; S. Lany and A. Zunger, Phys. Rev. B 80, 085202 (2009) 10.1103/PhysRevB.80.085202

53. in particular, DFT + U calculations predict that anatase and rutile have similar localized "small-polaron" states within the band gap (Ref.). However, according to experimental data in the literature, we can safely say that anatase does not have any fingerprints of small polarons. Therefore, there must be something wrong with DFT + U calculations in modeling small polarons, and DFT + U calculations cannot tell the dramatic difference between anatase and rutile. Based on comparative calculations, we will show in our forthcoming paper why beyond DFT methods fail in modeling small polarons, G.-L. Li, H. Jiang, and W.-X. Li (unpublished).

56. Strictly speaking, the effective mass m ⊃□ is a tensor. For either anatase or rutile, the anisotropic m ⊃□ has two independent components m□ □ (m ⊃□ in the c direction) and m□ which are comparable in magnitude.
