Polarization in BaTiO3

Dear Dr. Ozaki,

I am trying to calculate polarization in cubic phase of BaTiO3 (paraelctric, so P must be zero). But what I see in output:

polB batio3.scfout

It seems I missed something. What should I do more?

Thanks,

Hi,

I guess that in your case the phase factor of 2pi cannot be taken
into account properly, indicating that the absolute value is wrong.
But the difference between polarization is still valid as long as
the same phase factor.

Anyway, thank you for reporting the problem, and we willl try to
fix the problem.

Regards,
