Table VI.
Structures used in the Bethe-Salpeter equations to compute near-edge spectra in PbTiO3. These are not the average crystallographic structures at the corresponding temperature, but are specifically created such that Ti is off-centered along each coordinate by the root mean square fluctuation as calculated by AIMD simulations.
