37. We have used the ab initio method of Sankey and Niklewski to compute the 1D band structure. See O. F. Sankey and D. J. Niklewski, Phys. Rev. B 40, 3979 (1989).
38. The band structure of an infinitely long 1D Si chain has been computed before using a tight-binding theory. See, for example, Toshishige Yamada and Yoshihisa Yamamoto, Phys. Rev. B 54, 1902 (1996). Our results, shown in the inset of Fig. 33, are consistent with theirs.
