Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.
WannierTools - a tool to study topological mater ... (No replies)
Back to General announcements...
Dear members of the Psi-k community,
It is our pleasure to announce the release of WannierTools - a tool to study topological and related properties for real materials. The code can not only identify topological phases but also study the experimental related properties based on tight-binding models which can be constructed by Wannier90. The functionalities including:
(a) calculating Chern and Z2 invariants based on the Wannier charge center (Wilson loop).
(b) searching Weyl points and nodal lines in the momentum space, calculating related chirality, Berry curvature and Berry phase.
(c) calculating surface states and quasi-particle interference on different surfaces that can compare with the angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscope (STM) measurements respectively.
(d) calculating the joint density of states (JDOS).
A paper describing WannierTools is available at Computer Physics Communications http://www.doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2017.09.033. You can also download it from arXiv https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.07789. A comprehensive documentation for the code and its usage is available at http://www.wanniertools.com.
The code is released under the GPL license, and can be downloaded from the GitHub repository https://github.com/quanshengwu/wannier_tools. Suggestions, feedback, and contributions are very welcome. For questions, you can use the mailing list [email protected]
We hope that you will find WannierTools useful for your research.
One more thing: you are also very welcome to browse and contribute to this website:
