For posterity, I want to add that the ability to print density .cube files
with a 'complete' electron density within the GAPW scheme (core+valence
electrons) has been added to cp2k
(see the *TOTAL_HARD_APPROX* key of the *PRINT%E_DENSITY_CUBE* section in the
input reference
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/PRINT/E_DENSITY_CUBE.html#CP2K_INPUT.FORCE_EVAL.DFT.PRINT.E_DENSITY_CUBE.DENSITY_INCLUDE>
)
This is done by approximating the non-valence part of the density as a
spherical gaussian, thus avoiding the artifacts described by Axel earlier
in this thread.
Hope this helps anyone who have found their way to this thread.
