For comparison, the B_0,expt and B_0,calc values are also listed (see the text for the definition)^a, ^b.

^aFor the references d, l, and n–q, see Section 3 of the SI.

^bUnless otherwise stated, the B_0,expt and B_0,calc refer to the values at P = 0. When these values are obtained at a nonzero P, the value of P is specified in the parenthesis.
