Properties of Hartree-Fock solutions of the three-dimensional electron gas

Abstract: In a previous letter, L. Baguet et al., (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 111}, 166402 (2013)), we presented the ground state phase diagram of the homogeneous electron gas in three dimensions within the Hartree-Fock approximation yielding incommensurate crystal states at high density. Here, we analyze the properties of these solutions. In particular, at high density we find universal behavior of the incommensurate crystal strongly supporting the existence of a spin density wave ground state.
