[salmon-user:00318] User defined vector potential

[Fadil Iyikanat]

Dear Salmon users and developers,

I would like to calculate the time-dependent variations in the electron density of a molecule (isolated system) under a pulsed electric field. As far as I can see from the manual, it is not possible to insert the user defined vector potential with the ae_shape1 = 'input' option, as I am dealing with a molecule. 

Is there any other way around to insert user defined electric field/vector potential?

Best regards,
Fadıl

Dear Fadıl-san,

Thank you for using SALMON.

In your calculation, maybe the file path of the vector potential file was not specified well. 

This is a calculation example for C2H2 molecule with the ae_shape1 = 'input’ option. The file path is specified as file_input1='Ac.dat'.

Sincerely,

Shunsuke
