14. 3 structure. The H-induced superstructure does not appear since H is a weak scatterer.
15. 3 phase is insulating and charging effects could shift the spectra; that this is not the case has been verified by blowing up the zero-binding energy region up to the point where the Fermi-Dirac distribution onset becomes visible.

19. F have almost exclusively H character) and the interpretation of the spectral intensity in terms of DOS should be valid.
20. The gray scale levels of the calculation are determined by checking energy conservation with respect to the FEFS; i.e., perfect energy cosnervation appears in white. An inner potential of 10 eV and a work function of 3 eV have been assumed. No matrix elements are considered.
