18. The thermodynamic integrations were carried out from a TDEP potential extracted for fcc Cu modeled with an embedded atom potential (Ref.). A Langevin thermostat was used to control the temperature and break the mode locking. The numerical integration over coupling parameter λ was carried out over 15 discrete steps, and the we ran the MD simulations for ∼ 300 000 time steps to ensure convergence within 0.1 meV/atom.
19. The convergence tests for TDEP used an embedded atom potential (Ref.) for fcc Co. We used a Langevin thermostat and ran the MD simulations for ∼ 150 000 time steps to ensure convergence within 0.1 meV/atom.
