26. Although (formula presented) should be determined from the exact KS eigenfunctions and eigenvalues, the error introduced by our use of LDA orbitals is expected to be negligible. Wherever the uniform-gas XC energy is required as input, we use the parametrization by Perdew and Wang (Ref. 25) of the Ceperley-Alder DMC data (Ref. 21).

31. The electron-density parameter (formula presented) is defined by the relation (formula presented)
32. We have found that as (formula presented) the positive contribution to the correlation surface energy from the creation of electron-hole pairs is increasingly compensated by the corresponding negative exchange surface energy. As a result, the narrow peak that (formula presented) exhibits at small q is not present in (formula presented) which in the (formula presented) limit is largely dominated by the shift in plasmon zero-point energies (formula presented) (see, e.g., Ref. 11), (formula presented) being the bulk-plasmon frequency. We also note that large and opposite separate long-range (small-(formula presented) corrections to the LDA for exchange and correlation are known to compensate partially, as discussed earlier,1114 making the LDA a much better approximation for (formula presented) than for (formula presented) alone.
