13. Our band gap (at our theoretical lattice constant of 5.59 Å) is 0.4 eV, which is similar to a result reported recently by I. N. Remediakis and E. Kaxiras, Phys. Rev. B 59, 5536 (1999). Even though the band gap depends on the approximations used, the lattice distortions, relaxations, and the total energy differences should be relatively insensitive to its precise value. Therefore, even if the positions of the ionization levels with respect to the valence band edge cannot be obtained with certainty, their relative ordering should be more accurate.
