[Wannier] silicane bandstructure

Hi raju,

My suggestion is to pay attention to the chemistry of your system, in terms
of atomic orbital hybridizations and covalent bonds, since Wannier orbitals
are localized and they are shown to represent the local chemistry
characters. So ask yourself these questions: do the silicone atoms show sp2
or sp3 hybridization? what is the nature of the chemical bonds between
Si-Si and Si-H?

good luck!
