Electron poor materials research group Wannier in abinit. ZnSb, 4x4x4 vs 6x6x6 kpt grids April 7. 2011
Procedure • Steal relaxed structure from VASP calculation • Run Abinit to get the maximally locallized wannier functions (MLWF). • Search through the output bands for wannier functions that are located in places of interest. • This is done via an overlap with another function that has an object located at the place of interest. • Ecut = 35 Ha • 4x4x4 vs. 6x6x6 kpoint grid
