What is the polarization catastrophe?
I heard about the polarization catastrophe in a talk about polarizable force fields.
The speaker talked about how the dipole induction is damped at short range to avoid the “polarization catastrophe&...

I generated Wannier centers but am having trouble understanding how they relate to the atoms in my system: there are more Wannier centers than atoms?
I'm trying to calculate dipole moments from Wannier centers for the first time and there are basics I don't understand and can't figure out from online resources.
The software I'm using has a simple &...

What is the right way to calculate <A><A>?
We asked a similar question somewhere else and someone advised trying here instead.
How should we calculate $\langle A\rangle \langle A\rangle$ from data on dipole moments? It is a term in an ...

Are electron dipolar spin-spin interactions included in DFT calculations?
I am studying point defects in hBN using Quantum ESPRESSO. It is not clear if electron spin-spin interactions are typically/can be included in DFT calculations. I understand that spin-orbit ...

Methods to determine the vacuum level in 2D compounds in the presence of dipoles
When 2D compounds have a dipole, the potential distribution becomes linear (the left panel of the figure). After considering the dipole correction, the potential has two plateau regions in the vacuum (...
