22. LDA and HF calculations were done with the Abinit and PWscf (http://www.pwscf.org/) codes, respectively. Excited state calculations (BS, GW, and TDDFT) have been performed using the yambo code. Following Ref. we have used a truncated Coulomb potential to avoid the spurious interactions between repeated cells.
