15. The lattice parameter of CCTO is obtained using a 37 Ry planewave cutoff, slightly larger than the value of 30 Ry used in Ref. 5 resulting in a slightly larger CCTO lattice constant. Better convergence is required here in order to compare the nearly identical lattice parameters of CdCTO and CCTO.

19. The slightly enlarged lattice constant (Ref. 15) gives rise to small downward shifts in CCTO mode frequencies relative to Ref. 5 but they are still in excellent agreement with experiment; oscillator strengths actually improve slightly with respect to experiment. (GGA calculations at the GGA equilibrium lattice constant result in phonon frequencies in considerably worse agreement with experiment.)
