The pwpaw input and output files correspond to a g-cut of 7 for the smallest lattice constants of the six data points. The given k-points and crystal-symmetry input files were used for each lattice constant data point and g-cut trial for each crystal. The "spin-up minus spin-down" value corresponds to a g-cut of 7 for the lattice constant that is closest to the maximum energy value.
