“…Of these, 32 involved mechanically and thermodynamically unstable structures. To assign them a plausible free energy (as required by the Calphad framework), we used the recently developed inflection detection approach, combined with the epicycle method [41,42], using the robustrelax_vasp command of Alloy Theoretic Automated Toolkit (ATAT) [43,44] with its defaults settings. In addition, to ensure that free energy differences between different crystal structures are accurately reproduced, 36 lattice dynamics calculations were performed using the supercell method [45] with the fitfc code [43] within the harmonic approximation.…”
