[Wannier] [RE]Re: definition of zaxis

[Fabrizio Cossu]

 Dear Arash,thank you for the reply. Further on the projection I have noticed a detail about the k-mesh to converge and keep the spreads low.Suppose that in case of no projection convergence is achieved and spreads Ω_D, Ω_OD are low; suppose that we achieve such result with a 3x3x1 k-mesh.If we project along an axes (which define a bond) to see the diagonalisation of orbitals along that axis, covergence is not reached anymore.Instead, a division of kz is needed to recover convergence and low values of Ω_D, Ω_OD. Could you (or anyone else) comment on that? Is it a known, general and trivial fact? Thank you!

Dear Fabrizio
The zaxis in the projection input block should be specified in Cartesian coordinates so 1,1,1 corresponds to 1\hat + 1\hat + 1\hat, where \hat, \hat and \hat are the Cartesian unit vectors.
Best wishes,
Arash

 Dear Wannier90 users (and developers),
I have a very simple question: in re-setting the direction of the z axis inseedname.win(within
 the projection "environment"), shall we use cartesian units or lattice units?
For example, if we have a trigonal cell, and we want to set the direction of the z axis to (a1,a2,a3)
 - the lattice vectors - shall we use
z=1,1,1
or
z=0.5,0.866,1
?

 Thank you in advance for your answer(s).

 Kind regards,
 Fabrizio Cossu
