63 in the .md file where the values of a, b, and c are in units of
64 \f$ V / \AA \f$
65
66 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 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$.
