Dear Professor Yates,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you so much for your explanations. I apologize for my late response. There was indeed a discrepancy between the DFT groundstate used to compute the WF and the one used to compute the band structure. After using the same groundstate for both
of the calculations, my results improved noticeably. I have included the latest band structures (NC17-modified.png and NC5-modified.png) in the same folder:</div>
<div class=""><a href="https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WDjjKl22XXsIW7sdPIbWEsz29ZnkMTGO?usp=sharing" class="">https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1WDjjKl22XXsIW7sdPIbWEsz29ZnkMTGO?usp=sharing</a></div>
<div class="">As can be seen, DFT and WF bands completely match for the set of seventeen WF <span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">as expected </span>(<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">NC17-modified.png</span>).
However, WF bands deviate from that of DFT around the Fermi energy for the set of five WF (<span style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" class="">NC5-modified.png</span>). Considering I investigated varying an intersection of parameters as
mentioned in my previous email, I was wondering if there is a way to improve my results even further, since for my future calculations I need the case with five WF to be precise.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">

<div class="">I appreciate your help a lot.</div>

Dear All,<br class="">
<br class="">
I am trying to generate a Wannier90 tight-binding model for Sr2FeO4 using Wannier90 interfaced with ABINIT<br class="">

only on Iron d-orbitals, or on Iron d-orbitals plus Oxygen p-orbitals). In the disentangled case of Iron d-orbitals plus Oxygen p-orbitals, the mapping is expected to be exactly on top of the DFT band structure. I performed the calculations with two<br class="">
