How to extract the core level in the LCAO calculations?

[ZalmanChu]

Hello,  I am doing a band alignment calculation based on a combination of the two-probe device model and HSE.
I want to obtain the core levels in the two-probe device, and then use the core level and band edges from HSE-LCAO to align the band offset.
So my question is how to extract the core level in the two-probe device model and HSE-LCAO results?
Thank you!

What kind of analysis do you use? Band alignment for the 2-probe device can usually analyze using the projected local density of states. It shows the bulk and edge of band. Does the core level mean the bulk part?

Thank you. As the band alignment derived from PBE calculation can suffer the issue of the underestimated bandgap, I want to correct it with the HSE-LCAO result. But the alignment usually needs a potential or the core level (the very deep orbitals, not the valence states).  It seems that the electrostatic potential (not the difference electrostatic potential ) can not be obtained from the two-probe devices, I wonder if the core level can be extracted.
