60. The maximum of the valence band in c- ZrO2 is at the Γ point and thus the Γ -point calculations of our YSZ supercell should include the top of the valence band and the bottom of the conduction band.
61. We also expect an inhomogeneous broadening of these levels due to different defect environments. For instance, the position in energy of the HOMO state of the Zr3+ complex oscillates in the range 2.4- 3.1 eV depending on configuration (A1, B1, and B2) with PBE functional.
