[CP2K-user] [CP2K:15456] Re: Local potential for potential alignment in charged systems

[Nicholas Winner]

A developer might be able to comment more thoroughly, but I believe
you have to post-process the electron density in order to do this. It is
very rare to do defect calculations with all-electron calculations, so
unless you have a good reason, consider switching back to GPW.
