49. The planar average is obtained by averaging the 3D potential or charge in the (x, y) plane, and the macroscopic average by further averaging the planar average over one unit-cell size at each point along z. A detailed description can be found in M. Peressi, J. Phys. D: Appl. Phys. JPAPBE 0022-3727 10.1088/0022-3727/31/11/002 31, 1273 (1998).
