Electric field perpendicular to 2D materials Date: 2018/10/12 06:41 Name: sabike   <s.ghasemi@du.ac.ir> Dear experts, I am doing electronic structure calculations of 2D materilas. I have done all vc-relaxation and electronic structure calculations. Now I want to introduce an external electric field perpendicular to the 2D system. I have been work on the tutorial examples related to the electric field given in the openmx. How should I start the electric field calculations? Can I start scf calculations with the relaxed parameters for electric field or I have to relax the system for each value of the electric field? I would appreciate any help on the subject. Regards, sabike

If you want to test the effect, I believe the in-plane parameter can be fixed and only relax out-of-plane coordinate, since your E-field is perpendicular to the slab surface. Also start with smaller E field and gradually increase it. P.S the definition of the electric field direction seems to be opposite to the conventional + to - direction. Regards, Po-Hao
