41. 37 Ramamoorthy et al. showed that increasing the thickness of a slab model from three to five layers yields a widening of the band gap from 1.5 to 1.9 eV [ref. 36].

52. 2 surfaces is exothermic, and removes the Nb d states from the surface band gap. In addition, new states, corresponding to the superoxide p electrons, are introduced in the valence band, consistently with Chambers photoemission and electron energy loss spectroscopy results [ref. 10].
