APPENDIX A. THE QUASI-2D EWALD SUM<br />

and the prime here indicates that the term with m = n = 0 should be excluded<br />

from the sum. It may be shown [10] that this sum reduces to<br />

4β(3/2)ζ(3/2)<br />

(A.38)<br />

where β and ζ are the Dirichlet beta and Riemann zeta functions respectively, giving<br />

C = 4.516810842.<br />

Combining equations (A.36) and (A.29) gives the final result:<br />

v E (r) − ξ = 1 r − C L 3 (z2 − r2 ‖<br />

2 ) + O [ r 4] [<br />

+ O e −L2 /σ 2] .<br />
