Wannier Berri

a code to calculate different properties by means of Wannier interpolation: Berry curvature, orbital moment and derived properties.

NEW! WannierBerri World Tour is open for applications

Advantages

  • speed - it may be upto 1000 or more times faster then postw90.x : comparison

  • extensive functionality – see Capabilities (incomplete list)

  • felxibility – may be used with Wannier functions and tight-binding models

  • use of symmetries to reduce evaluation to symmetry-irreducible k points.

  • fast Fourier transform

  • Recursive adaptive refinement for enhanced accuracy.

  • Fermi scan and minimal distance replica selection have no cost
