29. A correction is needed for the LDOS VBO since the LDOS silicon gap is 0.4 eV larger than the theoretical gap. We add 0.2 eV to the VBO in the value reported in the text.

40. The interfacial dipole is not well defined and depends on the choice of reference. Reasonable references can be chosen but these choices are not unique; see Ref. 19 for a more detailed discussion.
