Hi, 
 Though I do not fully understand what you did, I would like to reply you.
 
 In principle, OpenMX tries to locate the discontinuous point in the applied
 electric field by the sawtooth on the vacuum region in your system when
 the atomic coordinates are given by cartesian coordinates instead of fractional
 ones. In this case, OpenMX locates the center of the unit cell on the center of
 system, and the the discontinuous point in the applied electric field by the sawtooth
 can be found in the edge of the unit cell.
 
 However, if the atomic coordinates are given by fractional coordinates,
 the cartesian coordinates of atom are calculated with (0,0,0) as the origin.
 This means that atoms can be located near the edge of the unit cell.
 
 For both the cases, specifications by cartesian and fractional coordinates,
 the the discontinuous point in the applied electric field by the sawtooth
 can be found in the edge of the unit cell. So, in the latter, you may find
 the discontinuous charge distribution.
 
 Best regards,
 
 TO
