[Wannier] Extraction of Tight Binding parameters.

[Dominik Gresch]

Hi Mohammed,


I have implemented a simple tight-binding code (TBmodels) which can 
interface to both Wannier90 and kwant: 
http://z2pack.ethz.ch/tbmodels/doc/1.1/


Here's the tutorial how to read from Wannier90 output: 
http://z2pack.ethz.ch/tbmodels/doc/1.1/tutorial.html#using-wannier90-output

And an example how to create a kwant system (as Jupyter notebook): 
https://github.com/Z2PackDev/TBmodels/tree/master/examples/kwant_interface


The procedure for creating the kwant system is as follows:

     - create a TBmodels model from Wannier90 output

     - create a kwant lattice from the TBmodels model

     - define the geometry of the sample within kwant

     - use TBmodels to set the hopping and on-site parameters for the sample


The orbitals are grouped into sub-lattices in kwant by their position. 
For performance reasons, it might make sense to set the orbital 
positions explicitly instead of just reading the Wannier positions (to 
get fewer sublattices).


Unfortunately the kwant interface is not yet very extensively tested, so 
please let me know if you encounter any problems.


Best regards,

Dominik Gresch
