Some previous density functional theory (DFT) calculations of the band gap of wurtzite and cubic InN; before the work of Lee and Wang [J. Appl. Phys. 100; 093717; (2006); are in agreement with the screened-exchange findings of these authors and with experiment. These previous findings point to an intrinsic capability of DFT; in the local density approximation; to correctly describe the band gap of semiconductors. These comments also discuss some recent results [Phys. Rev. B 76; 037101 (2007)] on an extensive hybridization of the In 4d and N 2s bands that is lost when the d electrons are included in the core. Our discussions in these comments indicate that when the two inherently coupled equations of DFT are both solved self-consistently; the resulting bands; including low-lying conduction ones; appear to have much more physics content than previously believed. © 2008 American Institute of Physics;
