17. The e-i interaction potential can be modeled with the bare Coulomb interaction vie (k) =4πZ Ze e2 / k2 or with a pseudopotential when a nucleus and its tightly bound electrons behave as a rigid entity.

19. When electrons are treated quantum mechanically, the quantum expression for S ii 0 is used in order to satisfy detailed balance and ultimately energy conservation.

27. We use e (k) 1-4π e2 Re χe0 (k,0) / k2 1+ k TF 2 / k2, where kTF = [-4π e2 Re χe0 (0,0)] 1/2 =4 kF Θ I 1/2 ′ (η) /π aB is the finite temperature Thomas-Fermi screening length [here I1/2 is the usual Fermi function so that ne = I1/2 (η) /2 π2 3 (2 me kB Te) 3/2].
