28. We wish to emphasize the superiority of local exchange-correlation functionals in our system to hybrid semiempirical functionals such as B3LYP, which are notoriously wrong in the description of metallic systems such as boron nanostructures, since they fail to describe correctly systems with uniform electron density.
