Initially I was not able to reproduce the WCs, even using exactly the same calculation parameters as in Silvestrelli's paper. Now I have found out that the results are quite sensitive to the number of bands that you include in the KS calculation and in the posterior Wannierization. By default VASP always includes a certain number of empty bands, unless you explicitly tell it not do so. In my first calculations, the Wannier optimization always included a number of such empty bands and the results for the 4 WCs associated with the covalent bonds and the lone pairs did not agree with those reported by Silvestrelli. Now, if you force VASP to work only with the 4 occupied bands and Wannierize only these, the results then do agree with those of Silvestrelli. So it seems, at least in this case, that one should only consider the occupied bands in the calculation. Cheers, Maurice > > > Dear Maurice, > > > not sure if this ever had a follw up.

Two comments: the WFs you want should always be constructed from the 4 lowest occupied states (of course, you can include empty states for different "disentanglement" purposes - but let's say here you are focused on the usual water WFs). Then, the results should not be dependent on having a VASP calculation use empty states or not to converge to the ground state (depending on circumstances, those could help or not the speed of the convergence, but for a crystalline insulator or a molecule with filled shells the filled manifold at self-consistency should be identical no matter how many empty states you use). nicola On 02/10/2013 19:28, Maurice de Koning wrote: > Hi Nicola, > > This has been a while, but I recently started looking again into the problem I had using the Wannier90-VASP interface in > reproducing the WC's for the isolated water molecule as in the paper by Silvestrelli and Parrinello (JCP 111 3572,1999) . > > Initially I was not able to reproduce the WCs, even using exactly the same calculation parameters as in Silvestrelli's paper.

Message-ID: Dear all I am facing a problem of constructing a slab with many atoms in it that, in the end, the total amount of numerical cost is unfortunately not affordable. I then came to the MLWFs, I tried to build the slab with the same number of atoms, but with only a few orbitals on each atom. The interpolated band structure from MLWFs agrees well with the Bloch band structure. My question is about the 'case_hr.dat' file. (1) In 'case_hr.dat', the hopping matrix spans over all projected orbitals for given displacement of the Wigner-Seitz Cell. I guess these displacements are defined in terms of the primitive lattice vectors R1, R2, R3 (correct me, if I am wrong). In the construction of the slab, I need to use another set of lattice vectors R1', R2', R3', how can I translate the hopping matrix in 'case_hr.dat' into the coordinates defined by R1', R2', R3'. (2) What does the degency really tell me? Do they modify the hopping integral listed in 'case_hr.dat'? If they do, how should I use them? thanks for any kind reply in advances Gang From rio10002 at gmail.com Mon Oct 14 08:34:46 2013 From: rio10002 at gmail.com (satrio) Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 02:34:46 -0400 Subject: [Wannier] Tunneling Hamiltonian in Wannier90 Message-ID: Dear Mr/Mrs I have a question about the Hamiltonian that is generated by this progam. As i read from the user guide, the control for this is from hr_plot that will produce Hamiltonian value at seedname_hr.dat. When i see the example of the output of this part, the data just give the Halmitonian part in WF basis at each position R in real lattice space. My question, why there is no Hamiltonian part between WF basis that are from different R, example where b is the vector to nearest neighboor of R?

The change in major version number is due to the large amount of new functionality that has been added to the code for this release. In particular there are new parallel routines for computing properties in the wannier basis including; wannier projected dos, Boltzmann transport equation in the relaxation time approximation (Boltzwann) and Berry phase properties such as Berry Curvature, Anomalous Hall conductivity and orbital magnetisation. We hope that these routines will provide a good platform for the community to develop new functionality. Finally, we wish to thank R. Sakuma who has made available the code used to generate symmetry-adapted wannier functions in Phys. Rev. B 87 235109 (2013). This can be downloaded from www.wannier.org Please note that this is a modified version of wannier90 v1.2, although we hope to fully integrate it to the main code in the near future. Jonathan Yates (on behalf of the Wannier90 developers) * Added the new (parallel) postw90.x executable for calculations which use the MLWFs calculated by wannier90.x as an input. * Added the following postw90.x modules: - dos - berry - kpath - kslice - BoltzWann - geninterp * Added the w90chk2chk.x utility to convert the checkpoint file between the formatted/unformatted formats, to move it between different computers with different architectures * Added the w90vdw utility to calculate van der Waals energies with MLWFs * Added the w90pov utility to render ray-traced isosurfaces using POV-Ray * Updated interface to PWscf v5.0 (including a minor bug fix to the definition of the projection functions). * Changed the internal format of the checkpoint file (not compatible anymore with v.1.2 and earlier) * Enabled very general specification of spinor projections * Generalized the definition of the supercell for real-space plotting of the Wannier functions: now the supercell size (wannier_plot_supercell) can be different along the three directions. Moreover, the home cell is left approximately at the center of the supercell, rather than near one of its edges. * Now it is possible to provide both 'seedname' and 'seedname.win' on the command line, both will work * Tabs can now be present in the input file without problems * A few bugfixes -- Department of Materials, University of Oxford, Parks Road, Oxford, OX1 3PH, UK tel: +44 (0)1865 612797 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~oums0549/ From autieri at sa.infn.it Tue Oct 15 10:57:06 2013 From: autieri at sa.infn.it (Carmine Autieri) Date: Tue, 15 Oct 2013 10:57:06 +0200 (CEST) Subject: [Wannier] layers polarization In-Reply-To: <2025355964.1056292.1381827280669.JavaMail.root@sa.infn.it> Message-ID: <659196643.1056320.1381827426283.JavaMail.root@sa.infn.it> Dear all, I am interested in the calculation of the layers polarization (Phys.

[IUNATSICWFC] The version of pw2wannier90.f90 supplied with v2.0 should be compatible with QE v5.0, 5.0.1, 5.0.2 and 5.0.3. In fact I just tried a fresh install of 5.0.3 and it was fine. The variable IUNATSICWFC has been removed in the SVN version of pwscf - so perhaps you have an SVN copy, rather than an official release? We need to make a few small modifications and then we will put pw2wannier90.f90 into the QE SVN repository.

The idea is to consider projections of the Wannier functions onto simple trigonometric functions - the relative magnitude and sign of these integrals may enable you to determine the symmetry of the Wannier function. These integrals come for free once you've done the underlying electronic structure calculation in a plane-wave basis. With the PWscf interface to Wannier90, they can be written to a file by setting "write_unkg=.true." in the input file for pw2wannier90. More details can be found in the Appendix of the paper by Shelley et al: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2011.05.017 and in the Wannier90 User Guide (v2.0), Section 7.3. Regarding your second question, not unless you add the code to the interface between Wannier90 and the underlying electronic structure code to calculate them. The PWscf interface only has the ones listed in the user guide. Developers of other codes may have added more.
