[Pw_forum] definition of bare potential

[Meysam Pazoki]

Dear Espresso Users,

I have a question regarding the definition of bare ionic potential,
In the PP.x when we calculate the bare potential, is it just the contribution of columbic potential of positively charged ion centers ?
or core electrons that are included in the  psudopotential also have contribution to it?
What is exact definition of bare potential then?

Thanks a lot in advance
My Best Regards
Meysam
