[Pw_forum] Question about potential (pp tool)

[Lilia Boeri]

Dear PWSCF users,

I am sorry for the somehow stupid question, but the more I think about it 
the more I get confused... 
The question is: what is exactly the "total" potential which is given by 
pp.x when plot_num is set to 1?
The manual says:
1=total potential V_bare+V_H + V_xc

my question is: what is V_bare? Is it the local potential or some sort of 
total average potential?

Thanks a lot,
Lilia
