14. The experiment was performed at the nominal doping of 0.1e; in the calculations[4], the DOS drops sharply from 2.1 st/eV f.u. to 1.5 st./eV f.u. at x ≈ 0.15. The former value corresponds to renormalization between 1 and 1.2, and the latter to 1.5-2.

34. DFT calculations [4] yield the following magnetic stabilization energies for FeTe: 332 (227) meV/Fe with (without) spin-orbit coupling in the experimental P21/m double-stripe structure, and 281 (205) meV/Fe with in the single-stripe Pccm structure (with full optimization of atomic positions in each structure). Thus, the experimental structure appears to be below the competing structure by 22 (or 49, with spin-orbit) meV/Fe. Exactly the same calculation for LaFeAsO [99] render the double-stripe structure well above the single-stripe one. The difference can be traced down to the fact that for LaFeAsO only the single stripe structure opens a pseudogap in DOS at the Fermi level, while for FeTe both AFM structures open comparable pseudogaps. Further details will be published elsewhere [100].

Wang, this issue, doi:10.1016/j.physc.2009.03.047), while other do not see such large reduction (F. Pfuner, J.G. Analytis, J.-H. Chu, I.R. Fisher, L. Degiorgi, European Phys. J. B67, 513, 2009).
