Maximally localized Wannier functions for entangled energy bands
We present a method for obtaining well-localized Wannier-like functions ~WF’s! for energy bands that are attached to or mixed with other bands. The present scheme removes the limitation of the usual maximally localized WF’s method @N. Marzari and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 56, 12 847 ~1997!# that the bands of interest should form an isolated group, separated by gaps from higher and lower bands...
متن کاملMaximally localized generalized Wannier functions for composite energy bands
We discuss a method for determining the optimally localized set of generalized Wannier functions associated with a set of Bloch bands in a crystalline solid. By ‘‘generalized Wannier functions’’ we mean a set of localized orthonormal orbitals spanning the same space as the specified set of Bloch bands. Although we minimize a functional that represents the total spread (n^r &n2^r&n 2 of the Wann...
متن کاملMaximally localized Wannier functions for GW quasiparticles
We review the formalisms of the self-consistent GW approximation to many-body perturbation theory and of the generation of optimally localized Wannier functions from groups of energy bands. We show that the quasiparticle Bloch wave functions from such GW calculations can be used within this Wannier framework. These Wannier functions can be used to interpolate the many-body band structure from t...
متن کاملCalculating dispersion interactions using maximally localized Wannier functions.
We investigate a recently developed approach [P. L. Silvestrelli, Phys. Rev. Lett. 100, 053002 (2008); J. Phys. Chem. A 113, 5224 (2009)] that uses maximally localized Wannier functions to evaluate the van der Waals contribution to the total energy of a system calculated with density-functional theory. We test it on a set of atomic and molecular dimers of increasing complexity (argon, methane, ...
متن کاملMaximally-localized Wannier functions in perovskites: Cubic BaTiO3
The electronic ground state of a periodic crystalline solid is usually described in terms of extended Bloch orbitals; localized Wannier functions can alternatively be used. These two representations are connected by families of unitary transformations, carrying a large degree of arbitrariness. We have developed a localization algorithm that allows one to iteratively transform the extended Bloch...
