17. Note that this definition of J c (r) does not satisfy the current continuity equation in the presence of nonlocal pseudopotentials. To fix this problem, we adopt the definition of current density J (r) = J c (r) + J n l (r), where J n l (r) is the current density from the contribution of nonlocal potential and can be obtained by solving a Poisson equation.
