10. The Stokes shift can also be calculated as the difference between the constrained-DFT total energy for the excited-state and the DFT energy for the ground state, but this gives an almost identical result

18. The technical details of our GW-BSE calculations are similar to those of Refs. [10,12] except for the screening of the electron-electron interaction. Refs. [10,12] considered a single-chain but included additional screening to model the effect of the other chains in a solid, while in the present single-chain calculations no additional screening was added.
19. These results also imply that the structural relaxations and Stokes shifts in the lowest singlet and triplet states of PPP should be very similar.
