[CP2K-user] How to calculate the dipole moment and polarizability for a OH bond?

Dear CP2K users,

I am trying to calculate the dipole moment and polarizability for *each OH 
bond* in a bulk water system (32 water in a cubic box with PBC).  The input 
file (H2O32_md.inp; pos.inc) for DFT MD simulation is attached here. 

Here is my method to calculate the dipole moment for each OH bond.
I can use the Wannier centers to calculate the dipole moment for each water 
molecule (using $ \mu = \sum_i Z_i R_i -2 r^w_n$), and therefore the dipole 
moment of each OH bond in each water molecule.  This method works, but it 
is not very direct from CP2K code.

But for the polarizibility, even though I can obtain the 
polarizaibility (see PS) of the whole system,  I still do not know the 
method to extract the polarizability for neither each water molecule or OH 
bonds in them.

My question is: With *CP2K*, is it possbile to directly calculate *the 
dipole moment vector and polarizibility tensor* for *a OH bond* in a water 
molecule for the bulk water system?

With best regards,
jia



PS: the first 3 lines of the result for the polarizibility for the whole 
system:
