Hi All,

Is there a way in ATK to perform geometry optimization under a specified electric field?

Thanks,
Jingyang

Depends on what sort of system you have in mind. If you are thinking of applying a field vertically across a 2D material, we have a tutorial on that: https://docs.quantumwise.com/tutorials/opening_a_band_gap/opening_a_band_gap.html

Thank you very much for the tutorial! Can this method as described in the tutorial be applied to (1) bulk systems, and (2) device configuration?

Yes, I think it can.
