41. Note that we have modeled nonstoichiometric compositions by using appropriate supercells of ordered phases. It will be interesting to consider disorder effects using first-principles approaches within the DFT framework (Ref.), although the virtual crystal approximation (Ref.) might provide a reasonable scheme for describing effects of Bi/Sb substitution.
