[Wien] vcoul

Dear Wien2k Team,
This is about vcoul(L,M=0,0) generated by Fe3O4 and Sr3Mn2O7. I compare
two potential curves as functions of radius R:

(1) VC(R)=vcoul00(R)/sqrt(4*pi), spherically symmetric;
(2) VCpois(R), spherically symmetric, obtained from clmsum00 and
Poisson's equation (using subroutine charg2.f). My boundary condition of
PE is the conventional one giving zero VCpois for a neutral muffin-tin
and large R.

In summary, I expect that VC and VCpois are equal up to a constant,
individual for individual atoms depending on the SCF boundary condition
in Wien2k. Results for Fe3O4 and Sr3Mn2O7:

Fe3O4, Table for potential value at RMT:
        Fe1   Fe2   O
VC     -0.13  0.18  0.37
VCpois -2.03 -2.08 -1.15
VCpois(R)=VC(R)+const with great accuracy.

Sr3Mn2O7 with RMT's from setrmt_lapw, Table for potential value at RMT:
        Sr1   Sr2   Mn    O1    O2    O3
VC     -472  -382  -231  -258  -230  -250
VCpois -2.0  -2.0  -2.6  -7.3  -7.5  -7.0

First observation: the values differ by factors 35-235. How is the
boundary condition for vcoul defined in Wien2k?

Second observation: dVC/dR is <0 and dVCpois/dR is >0 for R in the
neighborhood of RMT. Indeed, the latter behavior corresponds to a
muffin-tin with negative charge.

Third observation: VCpois(R) .neq. VC(R)+const. The disagreement is
significantly great, see 1st Attachment.

When the Fe3O4 calculation is used for LEED, the agreement
theory-experiment is satisfactory [Surf.Sci. 602(2008)1299]. On the
other hand, a LEED investigation on Sr3Mn2O7 would respond badly on a
potential disagreement like the one demonstrated in the 1st Attachment.
2nd Attachment is SR3Mn2O7.struct.

VC versus VCpois is a dilemma for Sr3Mn2O7. Is there an expert's input
to w2web that would make the potentials equal? A discussion would be
much appreciated. 

With best regards,
John Rundgren, KTH, Stockholm
