A new stable orthogonal structure with Pnma symmetry is found, which is 9.66kJ/mol lower in energy than the proposed Pnma structure by Soulié et al.. For the high-temperature structure, we suggest a new monoclinic P2/c structure, which is 21.26kJ/mol over the ground-state energy and shows no lattice instability. © 2010 The American Physical Society.text::journal::journal article::research article
