“…the exchange energy per particle in a uniform gas with KF = 3π2n. For s < 2, Fx(s) of vdW-DF-C09 matches PBEsol, which tends to the form of the gradient expansion approximation (GEA)67; where F_x(s) = 1 + \mu s2 with \mu = 0.0864”.

should read:

“…the exchange energy per particle in a uniform gas with kF = [3π2n]1/3. For s < 2, Fx(s) of vdW-DF-C09 matches PBEsol, which tends to the form of the gradient expansion approximation (GEA)67; where Fx(s) = 1 + μ s2 with μ = 0.0864”.
