13. We also calculate the total energy of another configuration where the oxygen molecule lies at the center of a hexagon ring of carbons. We find that the binding energy on the bridge site is larger than that at the center site by as much as about 0.1 eV near the equilibrium distance.

15. At d = 1.5 Å, we performed atomic relaxation and found that an oxygen molecule tends to dissociate. However, we did not do a full relaxation calculation since the artificial supercell interaction may be dominant at this stage.

17. We calculated the density of states by fitting the calculated band structure to trigonometric functions.
