The definition of the direct correlation functions (DCF) used by Tanaka, Yan, and Ichimaru (Phys. Rev. A 41, 5616 (1990)) is a semiclassical one, even though the functional derivative is performed taking account of the quantum effect. As a consequence, the Ornstein-Zernike relations, the electron-screened ion-ion interaction, the electron-screened ion-ion DCF, and the compressibility cannot be derived in correct forms for an electron-proton mixture, where the electrons behave as a quantum fluid.
