[Wien] external potential inside the muffin-tin sphere

[Yundi Quan]

Hi, Thanks for you reply.
By external potential, I mean the sum of the Coulomb potential of both
nucleus and the electrons. Such a Coulomb potential is constructed by
solving Poisson equation. Is there any technique reports explaining how
this is done? (How the potential is constructed and how the Poisson
equation is solved?) If not, I will have to look at the code itself and
figure it out.
