8. g falls ∼l-2 eV higher in energy. Treating the Ni 3p in an exchange-only approximation and neglecting the 3p-valence hybridization, the gap widens by ∼0.5 eV. Approximating the 3p at the LDA level induces still further errors [2,4].

22. Interestingly, the semiconductors also demonstrate a slight but universal tendency to overestimate the band gaps; see, e.g., Ku's results for Ge [4]. Not surprisingly, the electron-hole pair correlation is rather stronger in a correlated material such as NiO.
