28. This deformation occurs for small enough a FD energy broadening. This explains why it has not been reported so far. The present results have been obtained independently with the ABINTT (http://www.abinit.org) and PWSCF (http://www.pwscf.org) codes.

45. The "large radius" limit (graphite) has been addressed in S. Piscanec et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 185503 (2004).
46. n(q) can be obtained by setting the g coefficients to one in Eq. (2). It is a measure of "phase space availability" for electrons to be scattered by phonons of wave vector q.
