23. The DFT calculations have been performed using the ESPRESSO package: S. Baroni, et al., www.pwscf.org. The calculations have been performed using norm-conserving pseudopotential within the LDA with Perdew-Zunger prescriptions. An energy cutoff of 60 Ry has been considered at the DFT level while, for the optical properties calculations beyond the single particle limit, an energy cut off of 30 Ry has been considered due to the heaviness of the approach
24. In the last two cases a relaxation run only for the H atoms has been performed before the calculation of the optoelectronic properties
