A plane-wave basis set with a cutoff of 320 eV was used, except for calculations involving S and Ca, where 380 eV was used consistently for all systems involved. For Brillouin zone sampling, we used the tetrahedron method with a Monkhorst-Pack mesh of 5 × 5 × 5 and 4 × 4 × 4 k points for the smaller and larger supercell, respectively. The atomic coordinates were relaxed until all residual forces were below 0.01 eV / Å. Some calculations were repeated using the HSE06 hybrid functional, which mixes 25% screened Hartree-Fock exact exchange with the PBE functional. All HSE06 calculations used a 3 × 3 × 3 supercell with a 4 × 4 × 4 mesh for sampling the Brillouin zone.
