Dear Ghadiyali Mohammed Kader,
there was no input file attached to your mail. Anyway... The electric
field via "tefield"
can only be used in systems where you have a vacuum region in which you
can place
the potential jump. Maybe you should have a look at, e.g.,
L. Bengtsson, Phys. Rev. B 59, 12301 (1999)
to understand what this method is about. If you want to apply an
electric field via the
modern theory of the polarization have a look at the input variable
"lelfield" and
example 4 of PW.
Regards
Thomas

Respected Sir,
Thanks for the input.
But, if one is dealing with a bulk system with no vacuum then the
potential jump would be in the system?

Dear Ghadiyali Mohammed Kader,
applying the electric field parallel to the system, thus placing the
potential jump "into" the system
makes no sense and is wrong. Yet, if you provide more details on what
you actually want to do,
someone might be able to help.

Thomas

Dear All,
Is it possible to use the sawtooth method as I require smearing for
applying electric field parallel to a system?
I do understand the parameter edir can be used to specify the
direction, but it also specifies the direction of vacuum.
I mean, I have a vacuum along the z-direction and I want to apply the
electric field along the x and y-direction.
Then how to select the values of emoxpos and eopreg?
