[Pw_forum] Image charge interaction

[Ilya Ryabinkin]

Dear colleagues:
I am simulating dynamics of a charged particle on a metallic slab. To
avoid difficulties with Coulomb energy of a charged cell, we use a
core-hole trick to introduce a compensatory positive charge directly
into a particle. However, the image-charge interaction is clearly
absent and we would like to bring it back.

Did anyone bother him/herslef to implement is in QE? I know VASP has
this capability, but it is out of scope.

Thanks in advance,
I.
