[QE-users] How to extract nearest neighbour information from hr.dat file of Wannier-90

Dear All,

    After a Wannier-90 calculation I get a file seedname_hr.dat, which 
contains hopping parameters between different atomic orbitals. Structure 
of the file is,

     i    j    k   m   n    t_real   t_imag

   i, j, k is the lattice vectors,
   m,n are orbital index,
   t_real,t_imag are real and imaginary part of hopping parameter.

   How can I distinguish which (i,j,k) pair gives nearest neighbour, 
which one gives next nearest neighbours and so on? I have a plan to 
build a tight binding model using these hopping parameters. Please help.

with many thanks and best regards
