If the band is flat or almost flat maybe one could try to use LDA+U, ( or some hybrid functional with exact exchange if the cell size is feasible ) displace Fe a little if it is in a too symmetric position, relax and see if it is possible to split Fe impurity levels. If so one can compute Fe Born Charges by finite differences.

The problem is that the true system is not metallic, but in a band picture it is, even for a supercell of 1m side. Maybe one might compute phonons as for a metal, then use dielectirc constant and effective charges of the insulating host crystal. Not sure what one can use for the effective charges of Fe, though.PaoloOn Sun, Mar 4, 2018 at 8:39 AM, Pietro Delugas <[email protected]> wrote:Hello ChrisIf the system is metallic, no matter how bad a conductor it can be, in a finite time it will be able to screen any constant electric field.
