Dear Prof. Blaha
Thanks very much for you reply.

additional orbital dependent HF-potential, which is of course NOT plotted
in your procedure (and which cannot be plotted directly in WIEN2k).
Is there any way to know the portion of additional orbital dependent
HF-potential?
Is this portion high or small?
