Hello all,

The default behavior of gipaw.x (v5.3.0), with job='efg', is to calculate the electric field gradient (EFG) tensors at only the atomic positions specified in the input file of the corresponding scf calculation.

It is not immediately apparent to me how I might calculate the EFG at some other positions, given some electronic structure.

The physical reality in solids of course is that the electric field gradient exists everywhere in the structure - not just at the atomic positions.

Suppose I wanted to use GIPAW to calculate the EFGs in some structure at positions other than the atomic positions from which the calculation is derived (or better yet, everywhere inside the structure using some specified resolution). Is it possible by any "pedestrian" means, and if not what might I look to modify within the GIPAW module to achieve this?

Apologies in advance if this is not the correct forum for this question.

Cheers
