30. For the group-IIIA delafossite optical transition matrix elements please see Ref. Also, optical transition probabilities of CuAlO2, CuScO2, and CuYO2 in rhombohedral symmetry are given in Ref. It should be mentioned here that in these previous calculations no U was added in the Hamiltonian, so the extent of d hybridization at CBM would differ from the present calculation. This would also lead to slightly different transition probabilities for calculations with and without U.
