That's a theoretical paper, so I don't know how reliable those numbers are.  It will take Han some care with crystallography to translate the data into something
usable by Atoms, i.e. a complete site list.  I suggest starting with structures with the same code (e.g. D022) and filling in new parameters per that paper
or experimental ones.
