Task

Calculation of the bandstructure of Si in GW using the VASP2WANNIER90 interface.

Mind: The procedure to compute bandstructure in GW using V2W is almost identical to the corresponding HSE one described in Si bandstructure.

Mind: The standard procedure for GW calculations is described in Bandgap of Si in GW.

Step 1: a DFT groundstate calculation

Everything starts with a standard DFT groundstate calculation (in this case PBE).

INCAR

ISMEAR =  0
SIGMA  =  0.05
GGA    = PE

KPOINTS

POSCAR

Step 2: obtain DFT virtual orbitals

To obtain a WAVECAR file with a reasonable number of virtual orbitals (50-100 per atom) we need to restart from the previous groundstate calculation with ALGO=Exact, and manually set the number of bands by means of the NBANDS-tag. To obtain the corresponding WAVEDER file we additionally specify LOPTICS=.TRUE.

INCAR

ALGO = Exact
NBANDS  = 64
LOPTICS = .TRUE.
NEDOS = 2000
    
ISMEAR =  0
SIGMA  =  0.05
GGA    = PE

Step 3: GW calculation including LWANNIER90 TAG

Restart from the WAVECAR and WAVEDER files of the previous calculation, with

INCAR

## Frequency dependent dielectric tensor including
## local field effects within the RPA (default) or
## including changes in the DFT xc-potential (LRPA=.FALSE.).
## N.B.: beware one first has to have done a
## calculation with ALGO=Exact and LOPTICS=.TRUE.
## and a reasonable number of virtual states (see above)
ALGO = GW0 ; LSPECTRAL = .TRUE. ; NOMEGA = 50
#LRPA = .FALSE. 
## be sure to take the same number of bands as for
## the LOPTICS=.TRUE. calculation, otherwise the
## WAVEDER file is not read correctly
NBANDS = 64
##VASP2WANNIER90
LWANNIER90=.TRUE.

Use the wannier90.win file given below which contains all instructions needed to generate the necessary input files for the WANNIER90 runs (wannier90.amn, wannier90.mmn, wannier90.eig).

Step 4: WANNIER90

Compute Wannier functions

run wannier90:

wannier90.x wannier90

This run generates the wannier90 standard output (wannier90.wout) and the file wannier90.chk needed for the wannier interpolation (next step)

Obtain bandstructure (Wannier interpolation)

Uncomment the bandstructure plot flags in wannier90.win and rerun (restart) wannier90:

wannier90.x wannier90

This run generates the following bandstructure files which can be visualized using xmgrace or gnuplot:

wannier90_band.agr

wannier90_band.dat

wannier90_band.gnu

to plot the band structure using gnuplot: gnuplot -persist wannier90_band.gnu
