30. The rather shallow transition levels of VMg in MgO, shown in Fig. 1, are an artifact of the GGA and reflect the general difficulty of density functional methods to describe Jahn-Teller systems and holes localized on single O atoms in oxides [cf. J. Lægsgaard and K. Stokbro, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.2834 86, 2834 (2001)]. The deeper levels of VZn in ZnO are obtained due to the downshift of the VBM in the GGA+U method, but do not reflect the Jahn-Teller distortion.
