<div>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.</div>

"How is the external potential<br>
chosen inside the Muffin-Tin sphere" what exactly do you
mean?<br>
<br>
Probably the answer is that it is the sum of the Coulomb
potential<br>
from the nucleus, the Coulomb potential from the electrons
(both<br>
inside and outside the muffin tin) as well as the<br>
exchange-correllation potential for your choice of
functional -- this<br>
is what is used to solve the KS equations. The notes by
S.Cottenier in<br>
the textbook section <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/"
target="_blank">http://www.wien2k.at/reg_user/textbooks/</a>
may be<br>
useful. Additional terms are included for LDA+U,
exact-exchange and<br>
spin-orbit coupling.<br>
<br>
If you meant by "external potential" some other type of
potential<br>
(e.g. a ramp) applied to the system as a whole, please see
the<br>
user-guide for details of what can be applied.<br>
