33. We have determined that an overall increase in the cross section can occur by performing the integration too close to the structure. In our previous Letter (Ref.), this resulted in the cross sections for the 2 nm cylindrical nanowire and 5 nm triangular nanowire to approach 0.1 at low energies, rather than 0.0.
