Marten,<br>
<br>
I did almost identical calculations few years back (see <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevB.90.245411">PRB
90, 245411 (2014)</a>) without any issue.<br>
Since I still have all data from Quantum ESPRESSO (.mmn, .amn,
.eig, .spn), I tried to perform again the wannierization and
interpolation using the most recent version of Wannier90 to
check that no bug was introduced in the meantime.<br>
<br>
I got exactly the same results as in 2014, so I would rule out
problems with Wannier90.<br>
<br>
The issue might then arise from pw2wannier90 (that I haven't
checked yet) or from your inputs.<br>
In this respect, a crucial difference I see with respect to my
input (which is otherwise almost identical to yours, apart that
I use a 12x12x1 k-grid) is that you don't use guiding_centres =
.true.<br>
For 2D materials centred in the middle of the unit cell along
the vertical direction (as in your case) the wannierization can
go nuts with guiding_centres = .false. (which is the default
value). Have you checked that the spreads look reasonable? Can
you send me the .wout?<br>
<br>
Please, try to see if guiding_centres = .true. solves your
problems. If not, we'll investigate further. <br>
<br>
Hope this helps!<br>

<p>Dear Wannier90 experts,</p>
<p>I am relatively new to Wannier90 and also Quantum Espresso,
but I need for development some example file for monolayer
MoS2 including Spin Orbit coupling.<br>
I will use the files generated by Wannier90 to interpolate
the bandstructure and TB coefficients to a 1024x1024 grid
using a custom code (needs to be 2^n points).</p>
<p>I used files from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated"
href="http://www.materialscloud.org"
moz-do-not-send="true">www.materialscloud.org</a> as basis
for the calculation I only replaced the pseudo potentials
with relativistic potentials and I increased the cutoff
energy, since I get otherwise non positive S in quantum
espresso.<br>
</p>
<p>My problem is, that one Spin component behaves fine and the
other one shows strong oscillations around the gamma point.
(visible the bandstructure plotted by my code, but also in
the wannier post processing plot, both attached). It gets
better for more iterations, but what is the reason for the
poor convergence.<br>
</p>
<p>I hope, this is the right list, since it might be also a
problem with quantum espresso, but I did not want to cross
post.</p>
<p>Thank you very much in advance!<br>
</p>
