28. The exchange-correlation (XC) potential has been evaluated within the local-density approximation, by using the XC energy of Ceperley and Alder [D.M. Ceperley and B.J. Alder, Phys. Rev. Lett. 45, 1196 (1980)]

30. We performed a scalar relativistic calculation of the all-electron atom. Spin-orbit effects were then averaged in the generation of a nonlocal, norm-conserving Troullier-Martins pseudopotential [N. Troullier and J.L. Martins, Phys. Rev. B 43, 1993 (1991)], since these effects are not expected to be important in the evaluation of the average lifetime (Formula presented). We checked the transferability of the pseudopotential by comparing different electronic configurations for the pseudoatom with the corresponding all-electron calculations. This ensured a transferability for the bulk calculations up to energies of (Formula presented) above the Fermi level.
