As Jastrow correlation factor, we use the exponential of the sum of three fifth-order polynomials of the electron-nuclear (e-n), the electron-electron (e-e), and of pure three-body mixed e-e and e-n distances, respectively. The Jastrow factor is adapted to deal with pseudoatoms, and the scaling factor κ is set to 0.6 and 0.5 for carbon and silicon, respectively.
