We present a robust algorithm that computes (maximally localized) Wannier functions (WFs) without the need of providing an initial guess. Instead, a suitable starting point is constructed automatically from so-called local orbitals which…

Construction of maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) has been implemented within the linear combination of pseudo-atomic orbital (LCPAO) method. Detailed analysis using MLWFs is applied to three closely related materials, single…

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…

We have calculated the maximally-localized Wannier functions of MnO in its antiferromagnetic (AFM) rhombohedral unit cell, which contains two formula units. Electron Bloch functions are obtained with the linearized augmented plane-wave…

We present an automatized approach towards maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) applicable to both occupied and unoccupied states. We overcome limitations of the standard optimized projection function (OPF) method and its…

A versatile method for combining density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation (LDA) with dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is presented. Starting from a general basis-independent formulation, we use Wannier functions…

Maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) are widely used to construct first-principles tight-binding models that accurately reproduce the electronic structure of materials. Recently, robust and automated approaches to generate these…

We report a theoretical scheme that enables the calculation of maximally localized Wannier functions in the formalism of projector-augmented-waves (PAW) which also includes the ultrasoft-pseudopotential (USPP) approach. We give a…

Since the seminal work of Marzari and Vanderbilt, maximally localized Wannier functions have become widely used as a real-space representation of the electronic structure of periodic materials. In this paper we introduce selectively…

We present a method for obtaining well-localized Wannier-like functions (WFs) for energy bands that are attached to or mixed with other bands. The present scheme removes the limitation of the usual maximally-localized WFs method (N. Marzari…

We present an implementaion of interface between the full-potential linearized augmented plane wave package Wien2k and the wannier90 code for the construction of maximally localized Wannier functions. The FORTRAN code and a documentation is…

Maximally-localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) are widely employed as an essential tool for calculating the physical properties of materials due to their localized nature and computational efficiency. Projectability-disentangled Wannier…

We introduce a new type of Wannier functions (WFs) obtained by minimizing the conventional spread functional with a penalty term proportional to the variance of the spread distribution. This modified Wannierisation scheme is less prone to…

Using the newly developed VASP2WANNIER90 interface we have constructed maximally localized Wannier functions (MLWFs) for the e_g states of the prototypical Jahn-Teller magnetic perovskite LaMnO3 at different levels of approximation for the…

We propose an algorithm to determine Maximally Localized Wannier Functions (MLWFs). This algorithm, based on recent theoretical developments, does not require any physical input such as initial guesses for the Wannier functions, unlike…

Maximally-localized Wannier functions are quantum wavefunctions resembling atomic orbitals that are used to describe electrons in condensed matter. Since their introduction in 1997, these functions have become ubiquitous in ab initio…

We have developed a practical scheme to construct partly occupied, maximally localized Wannier functions (WFs) for a wide range of systems. We explain and demonstrate how the inclusion of selected unoccupied states in the definition of the…

To obtain a local description from highly accurate density functional theory codes that are based on modified plane wave bases, a transformation to a local orthonormal Wannier function basis is required. In order to do so while enforcing…

Maximally localized Wannier functions are widely used in electronic structure theory for analyses of bonding, electric polarization, orbital magnetization, and for interpolation. The state of the art method for their construction is based…

We show that an optimized projection functions method can automatically construct maximally localized Wannier functions even for bands with nontrivial topology. We demonstrate this method on a tight-binding model of a two-dimensional…
