Dear Vahid,

In Wannier90 you can study Berry curvature slice-by-slice using the 
kslice module (see user guide)

Also, more ways of tabulating Berry curvature can be found in the 
wannierberri package 
https://tutorial.wannier-berri.org/tutorials/1_basic/tutorial-wb-basic-solution.html#Calaculation-on-a-3D-grid

Best,

Stepan.

Is there a tool that allows the user to calculate Berry curvature in 3D and then from the visualization, deduce the coordinates of the hotspots?
