17. This Hartree potential includes the contribution coming from the uniform positive background (proportional to n +). Alternatively, this contribution could have been denoted separately as the "external potential."
18. - 3, as corresponds to our 3D system. However, because of the slab geometry the number density here only depends on one spatial coordinate z.

25. ) 2 = 2 m e (ε F - ε 1) / 2 = 2 π d n ̄, this limit (ε 1 < ε F < ε 2) can be achieved either for narrow slabs (d → 0) or in the low-density limit n ̄ → 0.
26. Note that z ̄ m = - d / 2 and z 2 ̄ m > 0. Thus, β m is always negative as a sum of two negative terms and γ m is always positive as a sum of two positive terms.

38. Most of the calculations presented here have been found to be well converged by locating the two infinite barriers at 8 λ F from each jellium edge. For the case of one single-occupied SDL, the two infinite barriers have been taken at 10 λ F from each jellium edge.
