Yes, for sure this would be a useful extension and I would do my best to support you when you want to implement this. I've never looked into details of this method, but honestly I expect that it is quite some work (also feasible). In case you consider such a major development, this woulb be a real

No, the Berry phase approach is not implemented. However, you may create a supercell (or better a slab) and apply an external electric filed (zig-zag). Am 14.04.2011 16:17, schrieb Oleg Rubel: > Dear Wien2k users and developers, > > I am curious whether it is possible to extract piezoelectric pro

Dear Dr. Blaha, thank you for the reply. > No, the Berry phase approach is not implemented. Would that be a useful extension? Is it possible to expect developers' support while working on implementation of this functionality? In would be nice to have that option in Wien2k since major PW package

Dear Wien2k users and developers, I am curious whether it is possible to extract piezoelectric properties (e.g., derivative of polarization with respect to strain) using Wien2k? It seems that there is no such a functionality documented in the UG, but maybe there some indirect ways. Ideally, it
