Respected Sir,
Thanks for the information. Actually, I had checked this paper: Meyer and Vanderbilt, PRB 63, 205426 (2001) And was not able to find any details regarding the parallel field, I would read the other paper as well, thanks for the reference. I do have an additional question, is it possible to apply an electric field to a nanoribbon, like a graphene nanoribbon, which has vacuum on two axis, I have attached an input.

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.

But, if one is dealing with a bulk system with no vacuum then the potential jump would be in the system?

Yet, if you provide more details on what you actually want to do, someone might be able to help.

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?
