Dear all,

Can we use the charged system (tot_charge= a finite value) with the vacuum-slab-vacuum boundary condition (esm_bc = 'bc1') in Quantum ESPRESSO?

In the OpenMX website, I find the ESM developer writes 'ESM.switch = on1: Both ESM (I) and (II) are semi-infinite vacuum media. In this case, note that the total charge of a calculation system should be neutral. The keyword 'scf.system.charge' should be set to be zero.'. However, I did not find the similar description of the esm_bc= 'bc1' :  Vacuum-slab-vacuum (open boundary conditions).  Does it mean we can use the charged system (tot_charge= a finite value) with the vacuum-slab-vacuum boundary condition in Quantum ESPRESSO?

Thank you!

Best regards,
Hong
