<div dir="ltr">Dear wannier90's owners and developers,<div>I have been trying to understand the examples well before going further. One of the relevant topic that I am having hard time understanding is the initial projections and the best way to define them for a system. I have read the user guide and tutorials to gain more insight. Also, I have found nice details and explanations related to the projections of carbon nano tubes and graphene systems based on the examples provided within wannier90. However, I am totally confused about the way that these projections are found. My questions might be related to the chemistry, but I need your help to start and then go from there. My questions are:</div><div><br></div><div>1. Prof.Nicola has mentioned that s-like projections are in the middle of each bond that has to be identified correctly. How to identify them? To clarify, example13 has this projection c= -2.7274, -1.9677, -0.6157 :s . How to find these numbers for the center of projections? Is there mathematical formula or chemistry reasons? How are they found preciously for any system? </div><div><br></div><div>2. One of the pz projections of the same example is c= 3.3780, -0.7128, -0.6157 :pz :z= 3.3780, -0.7128, 0.0000 :x=0,0,1. The center of CNT is 0,0,0.</div><div>In the forum, there is an emphasis that the direction of the CNT along z-axis, so z and x are identified to be along z direction. In case CNT is along x, should we have z=0.0,-0.7128, -0.6157 :x=1,0,0 or I am confused by the statement in the forum??</div><div><br></div><div>3.In example15, one of the pz projections is c=1.58342228,1.15042363,0.0:pz:z=0.809016993454,0.587785253559,0.0:x=0,0,1 </div><div>How to get these numbers z=0.809016993454,0.587785253559,0.0? Is it same way as question 1? </div><div><br></div><div>4. How or why do we choose a specific number of projections? I am assuming it depends on the MLWF and bands that we are interested in but not sure.</div><div><br></div><div>You can tell from my questions that I am totally confused. Any feedback and comments from anyone are greatly appreciated. Apologies for such long email and questions. Looking forward to hearing from you. Many thanks in advance </div><div><br></div><div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><span><font color="#888888">Zeina Al-Dolami<br>PhD Candidate<br>Microelectronics and Photonics Graduate Program <br>University of Arkansas<br>Fayetteville, AR 72701<br>Office: PHYS 244<br>Email: <a href="mailto:zaldolam@email.uark.edu" target="_blank">zaldolam@email.uark.edu</a><a href="mailto:cxm075@email.uark.edu" target="_blank"></a></font></span></div></div>
