12. Sometimes final-state effects are important. These effects can be included by using, for example, Slater-Janak transition-state theory (J. F. Janak, Phys. Rev. B 1978, 18, 7165). We have not included these effects in our calculations, that is, we have assumed that screening contributions form the valence electrons in response to created holes as well as electron self-interactions are identical for excitations from both C 1s states.
