thank you. 
how ever, what do i set for occupation?

that’s because macroscopic polarization is a property of insulators ... SB

thank you for reply, 
but when ocupation = smearing then i face wiht an error: 
Berry Phase/electric fields only for insulators!

Not sure, but it seems to me that “occupations=‘fixed’” makes the code assume 
that the system is an insulator, so that it does not search any Fermi energy. 
That keyword is somewhat clashing with the “degauss” and “smearing” keywords. 
Do not know exactly what the code does in this case, but there is something you 
have to clean up in your input file and, possibly, in your understanding of the 
code. Also, we usually love to see the name and affiliation of those who post 
to this forum. Best wishes — Stefano B
