[QE-users] Can epsilon.x compute off-diagonal dielectric tensor elements?

Hi QE users,

Can we obtain the off-diagonal elements (e.g., ε_xy, ε_xz, etc.) of the
dielectric tensor using epsilon.x?

>From what I’ve seen, the code only prints the diagonal components (ε_xx,
ε_yy, ε_zz) in the output. I was wondering whether there is any option or
input flag that allows calculation of the off-diagonal terms, or if
epsilon.x is limited to the diagonal components only.


Best regards
