Comment on "Atomic transport coefficients of liquid 3d transition metals: insights from local field corrections" Appl. Phys. A 131, 828 (2025)

Key Points

• This comment addresses inaccuracies in the reported pair potentials due to formula errors in local-field corrections.
• Analysis of the Farid local-field correction function's implementation.
• Comparison of the corrected pair potentials with those from the Ichimaru–Utsumi LFCF.
• Identified a misplacement in the coefficient formula leading to incorrect pair potentials.
• Showed that corrected implementations of Farid and Ichimaru–Utsumi yield nearly identical results.
