Dear Peter,

Thanks for your reminder.

That's very useful for me.

Dear asking person,

please, consider also that harmonics must real spherical harmonics.
However, in SIESTA, a different convention is used as in the attached paper. I 
do not know a right reference for this.

Best regards,

Peter

Dear Kuilin,

I think you are right. I think in siesta, the r^l part is multiplied to the 
Y_lm not in the radial part.

Thank you very much.

Dear Kuilin, 
     I haven't noticed there is really something special here until 
you bring forward this question. 
     Yes,  you're right,  Φ=R_nl*Y_lm. But I think that SIESTA 
multiply Y_lm by r^l is only a technique solution. Maybe we could do a 
little discussion. For a standard Hydrogen atom solution, as you can 
see in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrogen_atom, 

\psi_{n\ell m}(r,\vartheta,\varphi) = \sqrt {{\left (  \frac{2}{n a_0} 
\right )}^3\frac{(n-\ell-1)!}{2n[(n+\ell)!]} } e^{- \rho / 2} 
\rho^{\ell} L_{n-\ell-1}^{2\ell+1}(\rho) \cdot Y_{\ell}^{m}(\vartheta, 
\varphi ) , 


there is a \rho^{\ell} in radial part, may be this is left in Siesta's 
radial part when generating basis but later be added in spherical 
part. I'd been taking it for granted that subroutine phiatm should 
have no problem, or else the electron density could not be normalized. 

I didn't dig much on this r^l  issue. Hope someone correct me if I 
made mistake here.

latex software or just an online LaTeX equation editor, i.e.
