  • The internal coordinate $x_{4}$ was not determined by any reference we could find. We follow (Villars, 2016) and set $x_{4} = -1/6$, which places the Nb atoms in line with the Ti atoms in the $z = 1/4$ and $z = 3/4$ planes. This is not required by symmetry, and it is likely that the actual value of $x_{4}$ will be close, but not equal to $-1/6$.
