47. Note that the free energy in Eq. is, strictly speaking, a grand canonical quantity. This raises the issue of the validity of Eq. for describing the free energy of species s, which has only one particle and should strictly be treated in the microcanonical ensemble. However, if one does consider the statistical mechanics of a single particle in a trap (external potential) then one finds that one can write the ideal-gas contribution to the free energy of this particle as F id [ s] =k B Tdr s (r)ln 3 s (r), i.e., differing from the expression in Eq. by the term k B Tdr s (r). However, due to the fact that the density profile s (r) is normalized (only one s particle), then this term only contributes an additional (irrelevant) constant to the free energy, and this difference can be ignored. See Ref. for further discussion of this issue.

56. We have also calculated the external potentials corresponding to using the zero-dimensionality route for calculating g(r) and found that the external potentials are largely unchanged. However, in the zero dimensionality route the magnitude of the repulsion in u d (r,t) is much smaller which results in more infilling in the core region.
