27. 2 p reflecting an enhancement of the SOC. Here, the corresponding values of the SHA from Table for the unrelaxed and relaxed geometry are labeled by "+" and " □ ", respectively. One can see that the results of the phase-shift model remain stable with respect to the sign of the SHA for the full parameter space between 0 and π.
