[Pw_forum] anything wrong with my wannier calculation?

[Nicola Marzari]

Dear Mithra,


1) start by plotting the wannier functions, and see if they look like 
sp3 orbitals.

2) Have you done a proper disentanglement ? What you want is to extract 
4 bands from
the conduction manifold (plus the 4 valence).

3) maybe post followups (with more detail) on the wannier 90 mailing 
list, rather than
pw_forum: http://www.wannier.org/forum.html
