When should I use dipole correction?
I am trying to understand the function of dipole correction in DFT. I find that there are two examples related to this topic on the VASP wiki.
The first case is about CO on Ni 111 surface
The input ...

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 &...

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 (...
