Dear Abinitors,

I'm interested in the static dielectric constant of ceramics/insulators. I
notice the latest release notes of Abinit: "B.10 Born effective charges and
dielectric tensor calculations can now be computed in a finite electric
field."

Does this feature or any other new feature (from 5.3.4) allow a more
efficient/accurate calculation of the static dielectric properties?

Sincerely,

David.
