The momentum-space derivatives of Bloch wavefunctions are essential for studying quantum geometry and the equilibrium and response properties of solids. In practical first-principles calculations, these derivatives are obtained via Wannier…
A new implementation is proposed for including van der Waals interactions in Density Functional Theory using the Maximally-Localized Wannier functions. With respect to the previous DFT/vdW-WF method, the present DFT/vdW-WF2 approach, which…
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…
When using Wannier functions to study the electronic structure of multi-parameter Hamiltonians $H^{(\boldsymbol k,\bf \lambda)}$ carrying a dependence on crystal momentum $\boldsymbol k$ and an additional periodic parameter $\bf\lambda$,…
We present a first-principles scheme that allows the orbital magnetization of a magnetic crystal to be evaluated accurately and efficiently even in the presence of complex Fermi surfaces. Starting from an initial electronic-structure…
The construction of Wannier functions from Bloch orbitals offers a unitary freedom that can be exploited to yield Wannier functions with advantageous properties. Minimizing the spatial variance is a well-known choice; another, previously…
We generalize the Wannier interpolation of the electron-phonon matrix elements to the case of polar-optical coupling in polar semiconductors. We verify our methodological developments against experiments, by calculating the widths of the…
Quantum Entanglement plays an ubiquitous role in theoretical physics, from the characterization of novel phases of matter to understanding the efficacy of numerical algorithms. As such, there have been extensive studies on the entanglement…
We present a computational scheme to study spin excitations in magnetic materials from first principles. The central quantity is the transverse spin susceptibility, from which the complete excitation spectrum, including single-particle…
A method for increasing the accuracy of configuration interaction (CI) calculations of molecules and other electronic systems is proposed. The energy defect of a given calculation is associated with the electron pair origin of…
We present a new ab initio method for calculating effective onsite Coulomb interactions of itinerant and strongly correlated electron systems. The method is based on constrained local density functional theory formulated in terms of…
We present a simplified computational scheme in order to calculate the effects of electron correlations on the energy bands of diamond and silicon. By adopting a quasiparticle picture we compute first the relaxation and polarization effects…
We develop an ab initio formalism for dipolar electron-phonon interactions (EPI) in two-dimensional (2D) materials. Unlike purely longitudinal Fr\"ohlich model, we show that the out-of-plane dipoles also contribute to the long-wavelength…
A new implementation is proposed for including van der Waals (vdW) interactions in Density Functional Theory (DFT) using the Maximally-Localized Wannier functions (MLWFs), which is free from empirical parameters. With respect to the…
We propose a computational scheme for the ab initio calculation of Wannier functions (WFs) for correlated electronic materials. The full-orbital Hamiltonian H is projected into the WF subspace defined by the physically most relevant…
We present an approach to parameterize DFT+$U$+$V$ from hybrid-functional calculations using Wannier-function projections. The method constructs a common localized Wannier basis for both semilocal DFT and hybrid-functional calculations,…
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 present an automatic, high-order accurate, and adaptive Brillouin zone integration algorithm for the calculation of the optical conductivity with a non-zero but small broadening factor $\eta$, focusing on the case in which a Hamiltonian…
Wannier interpolation is a powerful tool for performing Brillouin zone integrals over dense grids of $\mathbf{k}$ points, which are essential to evaluate such quantities as the intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity or Boltzmann transport…
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…
