The generation of input files for density functional theory (DFT) programs must often be manually done by researchers. If one wishes to produce a maximally localized wannier functions (MLWFs) the calculation consists of several separate files that must be formatted correctly in order for the program to work properly. Many of the inputs are repeated throughout the files and can be easily automated. In this work, a program is presented to generate all of the input files needed to produce wannier functions with Wannier90 starting from open source DFT programs such as Quantum Espresso, Abinit, and Siesta. In addition, the input files for WannierTools are also included for those that wish to produce surface greens functions for the generation of surface state bands. The program presented allows for users new to DFT to use the programs with minimal understanding of parameters needed to produce good results, in addition, this program allows for researchers who are advanced DFT users to utilize this program for high throughput wannier calculations.
We outline a generic, flexible, modular, yet efficient framework to the computation of energies and states for general nanoscopic systems with a focus on semiconductor quantum dots. The approach utilizes the configuration interaction method, in princ
We consider a direct optimization approach for ensemble density functional theory electronic structure calculations. The update operator for the electronic orbitals takes the structure of the Stiefel manifold into account and we present an optimizati
We propose an adaptive planewave method for eigenvalue problems in electronic structure calculations. The method combines a priori convergence rates and accurate a posteriori error estimates into an effective way of updating the energy cut-off for pl
We consider a minimization scheme based on the Householder transport operator for the Grassman manifold, where a point on the manifold is represented by a m x n matrix with orthonormal columns. In particular, we consider the case where m >> n and pre
Motivated by the recently proposed parallel orbital-updating approach in real space method, we propose a parallel orbital-updating based plane-wave basis method for electronic structure calculations, for solving the corresponding eigenvalue problems.
