16. We have found our results not to depend strongly on the exchange-correlation functional used in DFT. The forces acting on the oxygen atom in the Auger final state, obtained using GGA, were generally stronger than LDA-based forces. Consequently, the predicted photo-induced oxygen desorption is activation-free both in GGA and LDA and should occur even faster in a GGA than in our LDA simulation.

23. The calculated excitation energy of 33 eV is based on the total energy difference between the ground and the excited states within LDA.
24. In our simplified description, we exclude the four valence electrons in the O 2p level from the discussion because they are not affected by the Auger process.
25. To treat adequately the +1e net charge per unit cell in the Auger final state, we superposed a uniform negative background charge to keep the system charge neutral. The negative background charge was treated separately from the real charges in the system to avoid fictitious Coulomb interactions, which may otherwise cause artifacts in systems with periodic boundary conditions.
