[Pw_forum] sc effective pot in atomic code

[Nicola Marzari]

Dear Mahmoud,

I do not know much (well, anything) about the atomic code, so not sure 
if what you are printing is correct.

Independently from this, not only lda and pbe should indeed decay 
exponentially (as the charge density does), but also hse, since it the
exchange it has is only short-range (my guess, never looked at this).
