Dear Marco,
<div class="">unfortunately it's not so easy to combine SCDM with symmetries. This is a topic of research, and we are working for instance on other approaches that do not use SCDM to get automatically WFs that are instead atom-centred with symmetries.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">If you are working on specific systems, the only suggestion is to try to look better into the systems and get WFs in the "usual" way, specifying initial projections close to what you want to get.</div>
<div class="">You can also use the SLWF (selectively-localised WFs) and the SAWF (symmetry-adapted) routines, implemented in W90, to see if they help for your case (look also at the tutorials <a href="http://www.wannier.org/support/" class="">http://www.wannier.org/support/</a>,
e.g. #21, #22 and #26).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">For the delocalised orbitals, it's hard to say without knowing more details on the system (and even there, it requires careful testing in multiple configurations). But one general comment (not sure it applies to you) is that rather than removing
the problematic ones, you might want to check if adding a few more bands helps, or if "playing" with the disentanglement windows helps (also, to check: is the disentanglement converged? Are the WFs real-values if you plot them in real space?)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Hope this helps.</div>
<div class="">Best,</div>
<div class="">Giovanni</div>

<div class="">Dear Wannier90 group,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am working with NiO and Cr2O3 bulk systems, in their antiferromagnetic phase. Using the SCDM-k method and considering only the valence bands (from a DFT collinear calculation), I obtain WFs sufficiently localized (apart from a few WFs totally
delocalized (3 with respect to 138 wannier functions), which reproduce quite well the electronic band structure (apart from those few bands associated with the totally delocalized WFs).</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">The problem is that these WFs are not completely centered on the atoms. How can I center my WFs? How can I decompose my WFs into angular components, in order to be able to do a wannier calculation with the projectors so obtained? Moreover, how
can I solve the problem of the few delocalized WFs (removing them makes the results worse)?</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">thank you for your willingness,</div>
<div class="">best regards,</div>
