Electric field in the standard code
Posted: Tue Apr 01, 2008 10:08 am
Hello,
I am trying to apply an external electric field in VASP.
I read in previous mails that I should include the lines
EFIELD = XXX ( V/A)
LDIPOL = .TRUE.
IDIPOL = 3 (z direction)
When I performed the calculation at several field intensities
I got exactly the same numbers. I did get a dipole correction,
etc but no external field. I could not find any mention to it in
the OUTCAR file. When I had a looked in the source files
I could not find any word like "efield". My question is, Is it
implemented in the standard version (from 4.6) this kind
of calculations or are they included in separate (additional)
source files?
Thank you very much for your help
Jaime
