Djw. Geldart et al., Exchange contributions to the grand potential of a uniform electron gas atfinite temperature, SOL ST COMM, 113(2), 1999, pp. 89-92
An approximation for the grand potential Omega(mu, T, V) Of a uniform elect
ron gas at finite temperature, based on a partial resummation of the many-b
ody perturbation expansion, has been suggested by Rebel and Hitchon. Their
sum of exchange contributions did not contain a T-2 In T term in a low temp
erature expansion and seemed to remove unphysical behaviour usually associa
ted with long range bare Coulomb interactions, without invoking conclusions
to be incorrect. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
