  1. Both one-shot (o-DMET) and self-consistent DMET (sc-DMET) are presented. For rows labeled with full cell CCSD, the whole unit cell is treated as the fragment while the others are calculated with multifragment partition. The FM-AFII energy gaps were extrapolated to the TDL using33 and 43k-point, which has been reported to give good agreement with experimental measurements, as demonstrated by ref. 94. The calculated and experimental values from the literature are also given.
