Wannier90 as a community code: new features and applications

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Marco Gibertini, Antimo Marrazzo, Hyungjun Lee, Junfeng Qiao, Samuel Poncé, Lorenzo Paulatto, Daniel John Gilles Marchand

Wannier90 is an open-source computer program for calculating maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) from a set of Bloch states. It is interfaced to many widely used electronic-structure codes thanks to its independence from the basis sets representi ...

First-principles calculation of lattice thermal conductivity in crystalline phase change materials: GeTe, Sb2Te3, and Ge2Sb2Te5

Davide Campi, Giorgia Fugallo, Lorenzo Paulatto

Thermal transport is a key feature for the operation of phase change memory devices which rest on a fast and reversible transformation between the crystalline and amorphous phases of chalcogenide alloys upon Joule heating. In this paper we report on the ab ...

Reproducibility in density functional theory calculations of solids

Nicola Marzari, Ivano Eligio Castelli, Lorenzo Paulatto, François Gygi, Gian-Marco Rignanese, Matthias Scheffler

The widespread popularity of density functional theory has given rise to an extensive range of dedicated codes for predicting molecular and crystalline properties. However, each code implements the formalism in a different way, raising questions about the ...

Thermal Conductivity of Graphene and Graphite: Collective Excitations and Mean Free Paths

Nicola Marzari, Andrea Cepellotti, Giorgia Fugallo, Lorenzo Paulatto

We characterize the thermal conductivity of graphite, monolayer graphene, graphane, fluorographane, and bilayer graphene, solving exactly the Boltzmann transport equation for phonons, with phononphonon collision rates obtained from density functional pertu ...
