In practice, for open-shell systems, we use the spin-polarized version of this functional (i.e., depending on the spin densities) but for simplicity we will continue to use only the notation of the spin-unpolarized case. \subsubsection{New PBE interpolated ECMD functional} -The LDA-like functional defined in \eqref{eq:def_lda_tot} relies only on the transferability of the physics of UEG which is certainly valid for large values of $\mu$ but which is known to over correlate for small values of $\mu$.
