34. According to LDA these barriers amount to 0.22 eV and 0.52 eV for intrabasin and interbasin jumps, respectively.

36. The slight difference found between the barriers for faulted and unfaulted half cells is within the experimental error bars.
37. All the calculations were performed for Pb adatoms adsorbed only on unfaulted half cells.
