Dear Pooja,

setting tefield=.true. disables all symmetries. Have a look at PW/src/input.f90, line 455 (version 5.1). I think that you can also disable this, however, you have to be careful that the code does not use any
symmetry which includes the z axis (or your efield direction).

Cheerio

Dear all,

       We are doing surface calculations using dipole correction.
The system under consideration is Cu(111) plane and we have considered 4 atomic layers. I am attaching the input files with this mail.

I have noticed that, for 3x3x1 unshifted k-point mesh, I get 3 k-points with no dipole correction and 5 k-points with dipole correction.

I am unable to understand how dipole flag changes the number of k-points. Could you please shade some light on this?

Thanks,
Pooja
