Maximally localized Wannier functions within the FLAPW formalism (original) (raw)

We report on the implementation of the Wannier Functions (WFs) formalism within the fullpotential linearized augmented plane wave method (FLAPW), suitable for bulk, film and onedimensional geometries. The details of the implementation, as well as results for the metallic SrVO3, ferroelectric BaTiO3 grown on SrTiO3, covalently bonded graphene and a one-dimensional Pt-chain are given. We discuss the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the Wannier Functions for the cases of SrVO3 and platinum. The dependency of the WFs on the choice of the localized trial orbitals as well as the difference between the maximally localized and "first-guess" WFs are discussed. Our results on SrVO3 and BaTiO3, e.g. the ferroelectric polarization of BaTiO3, are compared to results published elsewhere and found to be in excellent agreement.
