15. The LDA generally gives a better account of the lattice parameters of 5d metals than the GGA does, and it also gives a far better account of the Ir(111) surface energy and of the structure of weakly bound systems, such as graphite, according to F. Tran, R. Laskowski, P. Blaha, and K. Schwarz, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.75.115131 75, 115131 (2007)

18. As the area of an island increases, Ir atoms on its periphery are forced to lie in regions of the moiré where alternate C atoms are no longer so close to being atop surface-layer Ir atoms. Ir-C bonding, therefore, benefits less from s p2 to s p3 rehybridization in bigger islands, promoting the crossover to three dimensionality.

30. A persuasive story may be hard to develop. As a first attempt, one might try to follow the band-filling argument, set forth by B. Piveteau, D. Spanjaard, and M. C. Desjonquères, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.46.7121 46, 7121 (1992)
