Hi Ayria

I know that lberry (Berry phase) is for insulating characters
You should choose insulating matters and Graphene has no insulating character
plz, notice that spontaneous polarization and in general electronic
and ionic polarizations can occur in gapped material (such as
insulators and semiconductors)
Please see and study "Modern theory of polarization" papers (like:
King-smiths- R.Resta, Vanderbilt and ....)
