14. We utilize periodic pseudopotential plane wave DFT calculations with GGA-PW91 functional (http://www.camp.dtu.dk). The calculations were converged with respect to k-point sampling, number of oxide layers, plane wave cutoff, and the force convergence threshold of 0.05eV/. The top 2 Au layers are relaxed in the z direction while oxygen adsorbates were relaxed in all three directions. We have performed a number of studies, for different oxygen-vacancy concentrations, where all Au and O atoms were allowed to fully relax in all directions. While, depending on the oxygen-vacancy concentration, there might be surface restructuring and shifts in oxygen adsorption energy, the results of the fully relaxed calculations are in qualitative agreement with the results reported in Fig. 2.
