13. A zero-point correction of 0.26 eV applies for molecular hydrogen; in considering adsorption we have neglected zero-point energies since the formation of two CH bonds largely offsets the loss of one H-H bond.
14. With a doubled supercell we have checked the difference between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order, the former being favored by 0.08 eV.

16. This calculation gives a strong indication that the gap state would remain in the gap if self-interaction corrections were applied.
