69. One should be cautious about taking Hückel and extended Hückel values as definitive. Based on comparison with results from the local-density approximation it has been argued [J. Merino and R. H. McKenzie, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.62.2416 62, 2416 (2000)] that the Hückel methods tend to systematically underestimate the hopping integrals.
