Dear all,

I want to perform polarization calculations on ZnO nanofilms. After ground-state calculations, I found that the slabs are metallic, which is consistent with the previous research work. But in the direction perpendicular to the slab, the system is insulating indeed. So I wonder if I can use the Berry phase method implemented in ABINIT to calculate the polarizations only in this direction. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you and best regards.

Chun
