Dear QE user, I am a new user of QE. I want to calculate the band structure of bi-layer graphene by employing external electric field. I have done the scf calculations without electric field, then again did the scf calculation with an electric field included in the z-direction (efield_cart (1) = 0. d0, efield_cart (2)=0.d0,
efield_cart(3) = 0.001d0,). Then I have done the nscf calculations with electric field. Now I have to calculate the bands calculation. But I am confused about the step. Now my question is – Ø 1) Is it necessary to optimize (vc-relaxed) the structure with an electric field before performing the scf calculation? Ø 2) In the band calculation am I include the ‘lelfield = . true.’ option? Could anyone please guide me and share their experience? I am waiting for positive response Thanking you in advance. Sincerely barnali
