23. Published results of the high-frequency LDA dielectric constants of silicon and gallium arsenide vary between 12.7 to 12.9 and 11.3 to 13.0, respectively. These values depend on the type of pseudopotential (semilocal or fully separable), the lattice constant, and the convergence with respect to the cut-off energy and the Brillouin zone sampling. See for instance A. Dal Corso, S. Baroni, and R. Resta, Phys. Rev. B 49, 5323 (1994).
