32. The gap has been computed as the difference in total energy between the ground state and the state with an additional electron (ΔSCF calculation). The difference between the eigenvalues of the highest occupied and lowest unoccupied states in LSD calculations usually underestimates this quantity.

40. We know of no experimental data on the low-temperature cohesive energy of C-PC. Comparison with data for glassy polycarbonates suggests a cohesive energy of ∼2 eV per molecular unit.
