46. V. Olevano (private communication). The calculations are performed using the GW numerical code developed by A. Godby and co-workers (see Ref. 7).
47. HF and Σ and that of Olevano is most probably due to the use of different pseudopotential setups and different types of plasmon-pole models.
48. We have found for small- and medium-band-gap semiconductors that our results using two Chadi-Cohen k points [see J. Chadi and M.L. Cohen, Phys. Rev. B 8, 5747 (1973)] corresponding to 32 k points in the whole BZ and the most converged values using ten special k points (Ref. 37) (256 k points in the BZ) differ by as much as 0.2 eV. It is worth mentioning that most of the data in the literature are produced using about 32 k points in the BZ and are therefore not converged.
