66 gezelter 2022 The electrostatic potential corresponding to this uniform field is
67    
68     \f$ \phi(\mathbf{r}) = - a x - b y - c z \f$
69    
70     which grows unbounded and is not periodic. For these reasons,
71     care should be taken in using a Uniform field with point charges.
72    
73     The field itself is
74    
75     \f$ \mathbf{E} = \left( \array{c} a \\ b \\ c \end{array} \right) \f$
76    
77 gezelter 2020 The external field applies a force on charged atoms, \f$ \mathbf{F}
78     = C \mathbf{E} \f$. For dipolar atoms, the field applies both a
79     potential, \f$ U = - \mathbf{D} \cdot \mathbf{E} \f$ and a torque,
80     \f$ \mathbf{\tau} = \mathbf{D} \times \mathbf{E} \f$.
