33. States that do not belong to bulk Ag or hybridization with silicene (shown in gray) can be viewed as an artifact of using a finite number of Ag slabs. In fact, as the number of Ag slabs are increased these bands get more dense and converge to a gray background which can be ignored.
34. This idea roots to discussions with Maria-Carmen Asensio and Jose Avila.
