27. Relative binding energies of Hf 4f and Si 2p peaks were referenced to binding energies of the corresponding O 1s peaks. This approach assures that binding energy shifts are of chemical nature and are not due to x-ray-induced charges.

43. Due to the band gap underestimation in DFT, the exact location of the defect states in the gap cannot be determined within this approach. Therefore the energies of the gap states only indicate trends.
