چکیده
We present two modules that expand functionalities of the all-electron full-potential density functional theory package WIEN2k for computation Chern and $Z_2$ topological invariants. Characterization properties relies on methods: computing an evolution hybrid Wannier charge centers insulators (construction maximally localized functions is not needed) Berry phase a multitude Wilson loops discretize 2D Brillouin zone as well mapping curvature. The implementation validated by testing well-known materials feature topologically non-trivial electronic states.

BerryPI: A software for studying polarization of crystalline solids with WIEN2k density functional all-electron package
We present a module that enables computation of polarization using density functional theory based on the full potential linearized augmented plane wave package WIEN2k. The theoretical background of deriving microscopic polarization of materials using the modern theory of polarization (geometric Berry phase approach) is reviewed. The software is validated and then applied to determine spontaneo...
متن کاملReal-time and real-space density functional calculation for electron dynamics in crystalline solids
We report a first-principles computational method to describe many-electron dynamics in crystalline solids. The method is based on the time-dependent density functional theory, solving the time-dependent Kohn-Sham equation in real time and real space. The calculation is efficiently parallelized by distributing computations of different k-points among processors. To illustrate the usefulness of ...
متن کاملWavelets in all-electron density-functional calculations
We have developed an all-electron density-functional ~AE-DF! program using the Mexican hat wavelet. The AE-DF program is applied to the ab initio all-electron calculations of small molecules as prototype systems, and the construction scheme of multiresolution support spheres is used to optimize the computational efficiency. Convergences are systematically demonstrated as a function of the numbe...
متن کاملElectron polarizability of crystalline solids in quantizing magnetic fields and topological gap numbers.
A theory of the static electron polarizability of crystals whose energy spectrum is modified by quantizing magnetic fields is presented. The polarizability is strongly affected by nondissipative Hall currents induced by the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields: these can even change its sign. Results are illustrated in detail for a two-dimensional square lattice. The polarizability ...
متن کاملStability and computation of topological invariants of solids in R
In this work, one proves that under quite general assumptions one can deduce the topology of a bounded open set in Rn from an approximation of it. For this, one introduces the weak feature size (wfs) that extends for non smooth objects the notion of local feature size. Our results apply to open sets with positive wfs. This class includes subanalytic open sets which cover many cases encountered ...
