63. We perform DFT calculations of bulk diamond structure Si using the PWscf code with the same pseudopotentials and plane wave cutoff energies as in the quantum dot simulations, and a 5 × 5 × 5 Monkhorst-Pack sampling of the Brillouin zone. This calculation gives us a value of 5.47 Å (10.33 Bohr ) for the lattice constant, with the corresponding Si-Si bond length being 2.37 Å (4.47 Bohr)
