Dear Gregor,

I'm just calculating HF tensor of an isolated Si atom, so I don't
think magnetic response matters. Below is summary of calculation.

QE version 4.1.1
Spin-polarization: 3 up and 1 down
Simulation cell: 10-angstrom cubic simulation cell
Ewfccut: 30 Ry
PP of Si:obtained at
http://www-int.impmc.upmc.fr/~software/gipaw/pseudopotentials.html

Besides Si atom, I also got zero dipole term for C, N, and O.

Regards,

Jones
