    • The ``pseudo-'' wave-function is, of course, not correct near the core region, where the true wave function strongly oscillates. However, the energy range of concern here is approximately up to a few eV from the bottom of the conduction band in which the detailed form of the wave function near the core is not important.

    • The basis set of more than 139 G vec vectors is not invariant under the symmetry transformations, and this fact limits the number of G vec vectors in the expansion of the periodic part of the Bloch function in Eq. (1).

    • The value of the energy interval δ E is somewhat arbitrary, and we have used the same value used by Kane in Ref. 19.

    • The overlap integrals Ivc along the [100] direction and Ivc between n=4 and 5 are very close to zero and have been omitted in the plot here.

    • The average value of the momentum transfer is defined here as the value obtained when good convergence of the matrix elements is attained in Eq. (6). Typically, more than 20 000 terms are summed over the reciprocal-lattice vectors.

    • The Monte Carlo method, of course, works well for such functions if one can find a proper weighting function.

    • If the full band structure is incorporated for the electron's kinematics through, for example, Monte Carlo simulations, the resulting transport characteristics could be anisotropic. However, this simply incorporates the anisotropy associated with the band structure itself.
