In particular one # involving a short Ce-O bond (approx. 1.89 Å) occuring in partially reduced ceria systems. # This is problematic as it gives the wrong dynamic behavior. Attempts to heal this deficiency # so far destroys the good performance regarding the ordering of the surface vacancy energies # on the (111) surface. Therefore, keep track of the bond distances when analysing your results!
