[Wannier] Enquiry about the spin texture

Dear All,

I used Quantum Espresso 6.5 code to interface with WANNIER90 3.0 code and
there was a .spn file generated. The band structure from WANNIER90 3.0 code
fits well with that from Quantum Espresso 6.5 code.

Then, I extracted the Hamiltonian from wannier90_hr.dat file and
diagonalized this Hamiltonian to obtain the eigen vector. With this eigen
vector, I computed the expectation value of the spin operator for the
chosen band; however, I find that the spin texture from this extracted
Hamiltonian does not fit that from Quantum Espresso 6.5 code

Here is the content of the wannier90.win file.

num_wann = 60
num_bands = 96
num_iter = 2000
guiding_centres = .true.
dis_num_iter = 5000
dis_froz_min = -1.7452
dis_froz_max = 4.2548
dis_win_min = -94.9452
dis_win_max = 15.1548

Would anyone please give me any suggestion on the origin of this problem?

Thank you very much in advance.

Kind regards,
