Maximally localized Wannier functions for entangled energy bands
We present a method for obtaining well-localized Wannier-like functions ~WF’s! for energy bands that are attached to or mixed with other bands. The present scheme removes the limitation of the usual maximally localized WF’s method @N. Marzari and D. Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B 56, 12 847 ~1997!# that the bands of interest should form an isolated group, separated by gaps from higher and lower bands...
متن کاملMixed-variational formulation for phononic band-structure calculation of arbitrary unit cells
This paper presents phononic band-structure calculation results obtained using a mixed variational formulation for 1-, and 2-dimensional unit cells. The formulation itself is presented in a form which is equally applicable to 3-dimensiomal cases. It has been established that the mixed-variational formulation presented in this paper shows faster convergence with considerably greater accuracy tha...
متن کاملPartly occupied Wannier functions.
We introduce a scheme for constructing partly occupied, maximally localized Wannier functions (WFs) for both molecular and periodic systems. Compared to the traditional occupied WFs the partly occupied WFs possess improved symmetry and localization properties achieved through a bonding-antibonding closing procedure. We demonstrate the equivalence between bonding-antibonding closure and the mini...
متن کاملGeneralized Wannier Functions
We consider single particle Schrodinger operators with a gap in the energy spectrum. We construct a countable set of exponentially decaying functions, which form a complete, orthonormal basis set for the states below the spectral gap. Each such function is localized near a closed surface. Estimates on the exponential decay rate and a discussion of the geometry of these surfaces is included.
