I have some questions about slicing when using ePS_dz_Proj potential slicing in MULTEM. That I hope is relatively straight forward to answer.
First of all, is the first slice defined to be from z=0 to z=dz? or from z=-dz/2 to z=dz/2?. I.e. will an atom positioned at z=0 be situated in the middle of a slice, or at the boundary of a slice? If the latter case, should one offset atoms in order to make a slice belong to one atomic plane alone?
Secondly, is the slice thickness spec_dz defined as the complete slice thickness, or the half-thickness of the slice? This will of course be connected to the first question.
I've made a quick and dirty figure below to try to illustrate what I mean.

If I've misunderstood something about how MULTEM computes or uses the slices, please let me know.

Thanks for your help!
By playing around with parameters in the examples, it seems that the first slice is centered on z=0, and spec_dz
is the full slice thickness (although some of the slices are sometimes thicker when needed, e.g. the first slice has thickness 5.78 Å in example_specimen_slicing_zone_axis
when modified with input_multislice.potential_slicing = 2
and spec_dz=5
).
