Dear Dr. Giovanni Cantele Thank you very much for this helpful information. After modifying the input, I found that the choice of *eopreg *also affects the result. I found the dipole value close to zero using the attached input, but I still don't know how to chose the value of the *eopreg. Would

An issue with your input is that you place the point where the external saw-tooth potential has a discontinuity in its derivative at emaxpos = 0.5 (it is in crystal units, so because edir = 3, it means that the potential depends on z and the discontinuity is at (0,0,a/2)). However, the CO2

Dear Experts, users and all I found the dipoles of CO2 calculated by Quantum ESPRESSO as : Computed dipole along edir(3) : Elec. dipole 0.3112 Ry au, 0.7909 Debye Ion. dipole 0.8137 Ry au, 2.0683 Debye Dipole 41.9812 Ry au, 106.7055 Debye Dipole field 0.5025 Ry au, I assumed the third value is
