108. Since ideally delocalized, i.e., bandlike, free electrons and holes do not break translational symmetry, EH (+1) and EH (-1) are calculated using a four-atom ZnO unit cell with the corresponding carrier density. A 18×18×12 k mesh and the linear tetrahedron method are used for Brillouin-zone integrations. The interaction of the electronic charge with the jellium background is included (see Sec. 2).

112. Calculated in a slightly asymmetric cubic box of 15Å side length and with the symmetry-broken solutions for F0 and F+. The monopole correction of Eq. 11 is included for F+ and F-. (The third-order term is small, on the order of 0.01 eV; omitting the monopole correction yields I-A=11.25 eV for this cell size.)

117. Despite the (global) C3v symmetry of the wurtzite ZnO lattice, the local symmetry is close to Td with a near-tetrahedral coordination. In principle, a triply degenerate t2 state splits into a nondegenerate a1 and a doubly degenerate eg level. We find, however, that this effect is small. For example, the splitting of the t2 state of VO in ZnO (Fig. 4) is only 0.2 eV and is very small compared to the a1 - t2 splitting of ∼4 eV. Further, we find that the splitting of the Znd -like t2 level into a1 and eg sublevels does not introduce significant coupling with the a1 symmetric deep Os state or the a1 symmetric CBM, as evident from comparison with LDA+U calculations in zinc-blende ZnO, where the d- t2 level of Zn does not couple to the a1 levels by symmetry.

121. Note that the underlying theory of extrapolation methods described in Sec. 3 concerns single-particle energies, whereas in practice such extrapolation schemes are usually applied to ε (q/ q′) transition energies. Thus, the perturbation-extrapolation is implicitly also imposed on electronic and atomic relaxation effects (see Sec. 2).

139. Due to finite-size effects in the supercell used in Refs., the energy of the a1 state of VO appears at somewhat too low energy at the Brillouin-zone center (cf. Fig. 5 and discussion in Sec. 4 2). Therefore, we take here the Brillouin-zone average of the a1 state as shown in Figs. 2 and 4 of Ref. and in Fig. 3 of Ref..

145. In the analytic form of the first-order correction term in Eq. 11, according to Makov and Payne (Ref.), the corresponding scaling prefactor γ1 [cf. Eq. 22] is slightly different for the different supercell geometries, i.e. γ1 (fcc) γ1 (bcc) =1.018 γ1 (sc). Since the difference (less than 2%) is so small, we combine the data in one graph, thereby taking the advantage to use more data points for the fit of Eq. 22.
146. In order to avoid the large (positive and negative) local ?harge differences caused by a shift of atoms, we determine the second-order moment Qr in Eq. 11 with the same atomic relaxation pattern in the defect and host-reference calculations.
147. This slow convergence is likely related to the fact that in the fcc supercell symmetry, the defect images are connected along the cation-anion "zigzag" chains in the [110] direction of the zinc-blende lattice, which apparently causes larger residual defect-defect interactions than in case of the sc or bcc symmetries, where the defect images are oriented along the [001] and [111] lattice directions, respectively.
