35. LDA Kohn-Sham gaps in general underestimate the quasiparticle band gaps of semiconductors. [See, e.g., M. S. Hybertsen and S. G. Louie, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 34, 5390 (1986)]; 10.1103/PhysRevB.34.5390
36. We expect an overall increase in the value of the gap calculated here when considering quasiparticle corrections using the GW approximation as discussed in T. Miyake and S. Saito, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 68, 155424 (2003); 10.1103/PhysRevB.68.155424
