Phonon Wannierization

Post by nadeemnatt »

Hi
I am working on alkali doped organic superconductor. It is 70 atoms system consisting of K, C & H atoms. I have some questions regarding wannierization. I gave random wannier functions to start wannierzation. Here are the the spreads of wannier functions after running wannier90.

Code: Select all

 Final State
  WF centre and spread    1  (  8.508002,  5.894546,  9.953409 )     8.96424224
  WF centre and spread    2  (  4.805635,  2.942048,  9.768870 )     9.05498990
  WF centre and spread    3  ( -0.910455,  0.017996,  2.680080 )     8.90002564
  WF centre and spread    4  (  2.766907,  2.957363,  2.851847 )     8.88107530
  WF centre and spread    5  (  9.683796,  2.880463,  4.646002 )     6.04152250
  WF centre and spread    6  (  5.338335, -2.866371,  8.324110 )     6.17072660
  WF centre and spread    7  (  3.863051,  2.961550, 12.439789 )     5.54422163
  WF centre and spread    8  (  0.151134,  0.030058, 12.254414 )     5.49480334
  WF centre and spread    9  (  5.975803,  5.964245,  4.463375 )     6.02525526
  WF centre and spread   10  (  1.593423, -0.062805,  8.152393 )     6.09099494
  Sum of centres and spreads ( 41.775631, 20.719092, 75.534290 )    71.16785735

         Spreads (Ang^2)       Omega I      =    68.297468770
        ================       Omega D      =     0.111012597
                               Omega OD     =     2.759375985
    Final Spread (Ang^2)       Omega Total  =    71.167857352


Please have a look at H and dynamical matrix spread

Interpolated band structure looks okay when compared with the one from QE but phonon spectrum plot is not matched well.

Please suggest me some way to get better spread and correct my wannierization. I think I can only change intial guess for wannier functions. I have no freedom to change course q points and very limited freedom to change course k-points due to computational demands. I have tried to intitialize my wannierization with sp2 type wannier orbitals but it gave almost the same spreads. Thank you for reading my about my issue.

maybe you could change the frozwindow or nbnd to get better spread :lol:
