Materials Science 2025-01-07 v1 Chemical Physics

Abstract

This paper represents one contribution to a larger Roadmap article reviewing the current status of the FHI-aims code. In this contribution, the implementation of polarization, Born-effective charges and topological invariants using a Berry-phase approach in a all-electron, numeric atom-centered orbitals framework is summarized. Guidelines on usage and links to tutorials are provided.
