15. In structural relaxation, spin polarization was included and the local density approximation (LDA) as parametrized by Perdew and Zunger was used for the exchange-correlation potential. We made use of standard norm-conserving Troullier-Martins pseudopotentials in the Kleinman-Bylander factorized form with energy shift of 0.02 Ry and a linear combination of numeric atomic orbitals was used to represent a double-zeta basis set with polarized functions (DZP). A mesh cutoff of 200 Ry was used for grid integration to obtain the Hamiltonian matrix elements, and special Monkhorst-Pack 11 × 11 × 1 k points were used for K mesh.
