8. The "core" treatment consists of treating the 4f states as corelike, non-dispersive bands that do not hybridize with the valence bands, and removing the 4f character from the valence electron basis set.

15. The difference in measured 4f-binding energy for bulk Gd seems to be due to the strain in epitaxial films: the data (Ref. 14) are obtained for ≈ 100 monolayer (ML) thick bulklike films while the data of Ref. 15 are for strained 10 ML thin films on W(110).
