27. 0 is linked to the equilibrium lattice constant of the bulk only, and no additional elastic deformation is permitted.
28. The fact that g is the relevant quantity to compare different surfaces in the constant-charge mode was initially recognized by Parsons [R. Parsons, Proc. R. Soc. London, Ser. A 261, 79 (1961)]. In electrochemical studies g is sometimes referred to as the Parsons function (Ref. 17).
29. Generally, the Lippmann equation also contains the surface stress term (Ref. 29), for it is impossible experimentally to keep the surface strain constant while varying the surface charge (or potential bias), contrary to ab initio calculations. Despite neglecting any effect of elastic deformations (Ref. 26), our results are meaningful as in practice the stress term in the Lippmann equation is negligible [J. Lipkowski, W. Schmickler, D.M. Kolb, and R. Parsons, J. Electroanal. Chem. 452, 193 (1998); R. Guidelli, ibid. 453, 69 (1998)].

72. This assumption has been questioned by Láng and Heusler [G. Láng and K.E. Heusler, J. Electroanal. Chem. 377, 1 (1994)] who noted that typical experimental times might be insufficient for a surface to reach equilibrium and suggested a way to take this into account [see also R. Parsons, Solid State Ionics 94, 91 (1997)]. Here we consider only surfaces which are in equilibrium with the bulk material.
