I have a monolayer crystal and I want to apply an Efield in the out-of-plane direction.
A chose a positive value for eamp and edir=3. I suppose that this means that the Efield is pointing upwards (from the z=0 to z=L) , where L is the size (height) of my box. When I get my sawtooth-potential, I get a file in eV units. My question is: The Efield is only pointing upwards if the slope of the potential (units V) across my monolayer is negative. But since I get a positive slope for the sawtooth-potential in eV units, I suppose the real potential was multiplied by -e. Is this correct? Best regards, Fábio
