Dear Sir/Madam, I have optimized a 2D structure and now I want to check the effect of the electric field on it. The electric field is applied on the optimized geometry and subsequently we have reoptimized the structure. But for an electric field upto +0.3 V the job is completed successfully but when I am applying electric field +0.4 V or above the job is terminated and the same is the case for negative electric fields also. The input and corresponding input is given below:
