Wannier-function software ecosystem for materials simulations

Nicola Marzari, Antimo Marrazzo, Junfeng Qiao

Over the past two decades, following the early developments on maximally localized Wannier functions, an ecosystem of electronic-structure simulation techniques and software packages leveraging the Wannier representation has flourished. This environment in ...

Towards high-throughput many-body perturbation theory: efficient algorithms and automated workflows

Giovanni Pizzi, Antimo Marrazzo, Junfeng Qiao, Miki Bonacci, Andrea Ferretti

The automation of ab initio simulations is essential in view of performing high-throughput (HT) computational screenings oriented to the discovery of novel materials with desired physical properties. In this work, we propose algorithms and implementations ...

Complementary screening for quantum spin Hall insulators in two-dimensional exfoliable materials

Nicola Marzari, Antimo Marrazzo, Davide Grassano, Davide Campi

Quantum spin Hall insulators are a class of topological materials that has been extensively studied during the past decade. One of their distinctive features is the presence of a finite band gap in the bulk and gapless, topologically protected edge states ...

Twist-resilient and robust ferroelectric quantum spin Hall insulators driven by van der Waals interactions

Marco Gibertini, Antimo Marrazzo

Quantum spin Hall insulators (QSHI) have been proposed to power several applications, many of which rely on the possibility to switch on and off the non-trivial topology. Typically this control is achieved through strain or electric fields, which require e ...

Gate Control of Spin-Layer-Locking FETs and Application to Monolayer LuIO

Nicola Marzari, Antimo Marrazzo, Thibault Daniel Pierre Sohier, Rong Zhang

A recent 2D spinFET concept proposes to switch electrostatically between two separate sublayers with strong and opposite intrinsic Rashba effects, exploiting the spin-layer-locking mechanism in centrosymmetric materials with local dipole fields. Here, we p ...

Automated high-throughput Wannierisation

Nicola Marzari, Giovanni Pizzi, Antimo Marrazzo

Maximally-localised Wannier functions (MLWFs) are routinely used to compute from first-principles advanced materials properties that require very dense Brillouin zone integration and to build accurate tight-binding models for scale-bridging simulations. At ...

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 ...

Bulk and Surface Electronic Structure of the Dual-Topology Semimetal Pt2HgSe3

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Antimo Marrazzo

We report high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission measurements on single crystals of Pt2HgSe3 grown by high-pressure synthesis. Our data reveal a gapped Dirac nodal line whose (001) projection separates the surface Brillouin zone in topological and tr ...

Emergent dual topology in the three-dimensional Kane-Mele Pt2HgSe3

Nicola Marzari, Marco Gibertini, Antimo Marrazzo

Recently, the very first large-gap Kane-Mele quantum spin Hall insulator was predicted to be monolayer jacutingaite (Pt2HgSe3), a naturally occurring exfoliable mineral discovered in Brazil in 2008. The stacking of quantum spin Hall monolayers into a van-d ...

Many-body perturbation theory calculations using the yambo code

Antimo Marrazzo, Gianluca Prandini, Andrea Ferretti

yambo is an open source project aimed at studying excited state properties of condensed matter systems from first principles using many-body methods. As input, yambo requires ground state electronic structure data as computed by density functional theory c ...
