<p class="">Dear Vahid,</p>
<p class="">You can use the 'nnkpts' parameter (new in version 2.1) to explicitly specify for which k-point pairs the overlap should be calculated. This just side-steps the way that Wannier90 tries to calculate the nearest neighbours, and prints the neighbours
you supply directly to the .nnkp file. To get the .mmn output for all pairs of k-points, you could generate the nnkpts block such that it includes all the overlaps you need.<br class="">
</p>
<p class="">For the interface to QE, you need to use the 'regular_mesh = .false.' when using pw2wannier90 to allow for non-regular k-grids to be used (new in QE v.6).</p>
<p class="">Best regards,</p>
<p class="">Dominik Gresch</p>

<div class=""><font class="" size="4">To include impurity scattering, one needs the overlap intergal for the lattice-periodic part of the wave function |u_nk> between any two k-points. The .mmn files creates such a file but it is only for the nearest neighbor

<div class="">and the same k-points must be used in the preliminary self-consistent and non self-consistent calculations with QE. </div>

<div class=""><font class="" size="4"><br class="">
</font></div>
<div class=""><font class="" size="4">I ask question 2 because for thermoelectric properties, one needs to select k-points with energies ~0.5 eV above the CBM. So it is possible to generate a very dense k-grid (100^3) and only include the selected k-points
in the impurity scattering rate calculation.</font></div>
