If I do a spin-polarized scalar-relativistic LSDA calculation (nspin = 2, 
noncolin = .FALSE., lspinorb = .FALSE.), what functional is actually being used 
if I am using PBE pseudopotentials? Is it still PBE?

Looking at the output file, it seems to be PBE (the output lists 
Exchange-correlation= SLA PW PBX PBCs), but I can't find any references or 
documentation for how the LSDA can be implemented within the PBE functional. I 
only find references indicating that LSDA is its own functional that doesn't 
use the GGA.

What paper should I reference for the LSDA as implemented in QE?

Thank you,
Daniel
