[DFTB-Plus-User] MD with Electric Field

[Benjamin Hourahine]

Hello Shunaev,

the problem is most likely that the default is atomic units for field strength and frequency. You need to add modifiers if setting SI values

See appendix C of the manual for a full list, but what you probably want is

Strength [v/m] = 1e9
Frequency [Hz] = 5e11

Dear Forum!

I’ve tried to perform MD simulation with external electric field for K at C60 complex. But after simulation I found that out-files(coordinates, charges, velocities) are the same with and without a presence of ElectricField block. And I can’t find values of EF strength during simulation. Also I can’t find any recipes for MD simulation with EF. The required files are attached. Please help!

ElectricField = {
    Strength 1e9
    Direction 1.0 0.0 0.0
    Frequency 5e11
    }
