This PR adds support for prescribing an external electric field in the particle pusher via the ext_force infrastructure. The implementation follows Arno Vanthieghem’s previous approach. Future separation as a standalone function (instead of a combination with ext_force) is possible.
Key Features:
External E-field driver added to the ext_force mechanism.
Time- and space-dependent field definitions are supported.
Enables controlled field-driving experiments (e.g., for wave excitation or forced dynamics).
Notes:
Currently, the No_Force logic is not very elegant in the pusher, it needs work.
This addition affects only the external force logic applied during the particle push.
