This module contains classes useful for analyzing ferroelectric candidates.
The Polarization class can recover the spontaneous polarization using
multiple calculations along a nonpolar to polar ferroelectric distortion.
The EnergyTrend class is useful for assessing the trend in energy across
the distortion.
See Nicola Spaldin's "A beginner's guide to the modern theory of polarization"
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1202.1831) for an introduction to crystal polarization.
We recommend using our calc_ionic function for calculating the ionic
polarization rather than the values from OUTCAR.
We find that the ionic dipole moment reported in OUTCAR differ from
the naive calculation of \\sum_i Z_i r_i where i is the index of the
atom, Z_i is the ZVAL from the pseudopotential file, and r is the distance
in Angstroms along the lattice vectors.
Compare calc_ionic to VASP dipol.F. SUBROUTINE POINT_CHARGE_DIPOL.
We are able to recover a smooth same branch polarization more frequently
using the naive calculation in calc_ionic than using the ionic dipole
moment reported in the OUTCAR.
Some defintions of terms used in the comments below:
A polar structure belongs to a polar space group. A polar space group has a
one of the 10 polar point group:
(1, 2, m, mm2, 4, 4mm, 3, 3m, 6, 6m)
Being nonpolar is not equivalent to being centrosymmetric (having inversion
symmetry). For example, any space group with point group 222 is nonpolar but
not centrosymmetric.
By symmetry the polarization of a nonpolar material modulo the quantum
of polarization can only be zero or 1/2. We use a nonpolar structure to help
determine the spontaneous polarization because it serves as a reference point.

Polarization is a lattice vector, meaning it is only defined modulo the

P = P_0 + \\sum_i \\frac{n_i e R_i}{\\Omega}
where n_i is an integer, e is the charge of the electron in microCoulombs,
R_i is a lattice vector, and \\Omega is the unit cell volume in cm**3
(giving polarization units of microCoulomb per centimeter**2).
The quantum of the dipole moment in electron Angstroms (as given by VASP) is:
\\sum_i n_i e R_i
where e, the electron charge, is 1 and R_i is a lattice vector, and n_i is an integer.
Given N polarization calculations in order from nonpolar to polar, this algorithm
minimizes the distance between adjacent polarization images. To do this, it
constructs a polarization lattice for each polarization calculation using the
pymatgen.core.structure class and calls the get_nearest_site method to find the
image of a given polarization lattice vector that is closest to the previous polarization
lattice vector image.
