For notation, see ref (62). Hubbard and Hubbard derivative parameters for the s and p orbital (Usp, Uspd) are different from those for the d orbitals (Ud, Ud). The optimized parameters are rspwf, rd, rdens, ϵp, Ud, Udd. For the other parameters, ϵs, ϵd, Espin, Usp, Usp are calculated using the PBE functional, and the remainder follow the standard DFTB choices. For parameters that define the repulsive potential, see Table S1 in the Supporting Information.
