A collection of codes to construct Wannier functions using crystal symmetry. By using this package, user only have to calculate the wave functions, overlap matrices (Mmn) and projection matrices (Amn) in the irreducible Brillouin zone (IBZ). Mmn and Amn files in the full BZ for wannier90 package (http://www.wannier.org/) can be generated using the symmetry information. Users can also use the Python scripts included in this package to construct maximally-localized Wannier functions. There is an option to calculate symmetry-adapted Wannier functions.
First, please download the scripts:
git clone git@github.com:wannier-utils-dev/symWannier.git
In addition, pw2wannier90 should be modified.
Copy src/pw2wannier90/qe7.0/pw2wannier90.f90 to your QE directory and compile it. Alternatively, you can also use the develop version of QE in Gitlab (https://gitlab.com/QEF/q-e).
Run SCF calculation and NSCF calculation to obtain wavefunctions in the irreducible Brillouin zone (IBZ).
pw.x < scf.in
pw.x < nscf.in
In the NSCF calculation, k points should be automatically generated as
K_POINTS {automatic}
8 8 8 0 0 0
Prepare prefix.win and generate prefix.nnkp. You can use the same prefix.win that is used in the original wannier90 calculation.
wannier90.x -pp prefix
Run modified pw2wannier90.x with irr_bz = .true. to compute prefix.immn, prefix.iamn, prefix.ieig. Symmetry infomation is stored in prefix.isym.
pw2wannier90.x < pw2wan.in
Calculate Mmn, Amn and Eig in the full BZ using write_full_data.py.
SYMWANNIERDIR=path/to/symWannier/src
export PYTHONPATH=$SYMWANNIERDIR
python $SYMWANNIERDIR/symwannier/write_full_data.py prefix
Run wannier90 as usual.
wannier90.x prefix
There are sample input and script files, in examples/Cu and examples/Fe.
Once prefix.immn, prefix.iamn, prefix.ieig, and prefix.isym are obtained, you can construct Wannier functions as follows.
SYMWANNIERDIR=path/to/symWannier/src
export PYTHONPATH=$SYMWANNIERDIR
python $SYMWANNIERDIR/symwannier/wannierize.py -s prefix
To construct symmetry-adapted Wannier functions, use "-S" option instead of "-s".
python $SYMWANNIERDIR/symwannier/wannierize.py -S prefix
