Hi,<br>I think you apply the external field perpendicular to the surface. In this position the voltage difference between both side of nano structure is small. As a result the Hamiltonian of surface does not change very much and you do not observe any difference.<br>
If you want to study the presence of external electric field i suggest that use a vertical field. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Nov 6, 2012 at 8:43 AM, mashiat alaaii <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mashiatalaaii@gmail.com" target="_blank">mashiatalaaii@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I applied field with several strengths to a Si/SiO2 slab with 168 Si and 144 O atoms, and compared the planar averafege of wave function in the same direction of field before and after applying field. Even when the field is so strong (eamp = 0.01), the results are just the same.<br>
I was wondering whether anybody could help me in interpreting the results.<br>I really appreciate your help.<br>M Alaaii<br><br>
