29. In our calculations, we adopt the experimental lattice structures (Ref.) and use norm-conserving pseudopotentials in a plane-wave expansion (with an energy cutoff between 30 and 40 Ha) (Refs. and). We use a 24 × 24 × 12 grid of k points and include 100 bands in the calculation. The dimension of the matrices is 300 G vectors. With those parameters we get converged results in the range 0-10 eV. Spin-orbit coupling is known to induce visible effects in the band structures (see, e.g., Refs. and). However, its inclusion in the calculation would not affect our conclusions.
