[DFTB-Plus-User] Compute electrostatic potential with NEGF

[Andrea Pedrielli]

Thank you Gabriele,
If I could, I would ask you another thing. I read in the online tutorial on
silicon nanowire that the charge density is expanded in s spherical
orbitals weighted with Mullen charges. Part of my interest in compute
charge density and potential is take into account the charge density
between the atoms, due to the bonds. If the charge density is expanded in
s-like orbitals the charge density between the atoms (for example in a
nanotube) is still well described?
