摘要:

当使用Wannier函数来研究多参数哈密顿量$H^{(\boldsymbol k,\bf λ)}$的电子结构时,通常对$\bfλ$的一组值构造几组Wannier函数,所述多参数哈密顿量$\boldsymbol k$和附加的周期参数$\bfλ$具有依赖性。我们提出了高维Wannier函数(HDWFs)的概念,它提供了一个最小的和准确的描述的电子结构的多参数哈密顿的基础上的一组HDWFs。通过引入一个与参数$\bfλ$互逆的辅助实空间,克服了Bloch函数在不同参数$\bfλ$下不正交的障碍.我们推导出一个广义插值方案,并强调在使用的形式主义,例如,在线性响应系数的评价基本的概念和计算简化。我们进一步实施必要的机器,从从头开始构建HDWF内的全电位线性增广平面波方法(FLAPW)。我们应用我们的实现,以准确地插值的一个一维的磁性链的Mn原子在两个重要的情况下的$\bfλ$:(i)的自旋螺旋矢量$\boldsymbol q$,和(ii)的铁磁磁化方向$\hat{\boldsymbol m}$。使用广义插值的能量,我们提取相应的值的磁晶各向异性能,海森堡交换常数,和自旋刚度,比较非常好的直接第一性原理计算得到的值。对于玩具模型,我们表明,HDWF的方法也可以用于应用程序,如虚晶近似,铁电极化和自旋力矩。

英文摘要:

When using Wannier functions to study the electronic structure of multi-parameter Hamiltonians $H^{(\boldsymbol k,\bf λ)}$ carrying a dependence on crystal momentum $\boldsymbol k$ and an additional periodic parameter $\bfλ$, one usually constructs several sets of Wannier functions for a set of values of $\bfλ$. We present the concept of higher dimensional Wannier functions (HDWFs), which provide a minimal and accurate description of the electronic structure of multi-parameter Hamiltonians based on a single set of HDWFs. The obstacle of non-orthogonality of Bloch functions at different $\bfλ$ is overcome by introducing an auxiliary real space, which is reciprocal to the parameter $\bfλ$. We derive a generalized interpolation scheme and emphasize the essential conceptual and computational simplifications in using the formalism, for instance, in the evaluation of linear response coefficients. We further implement the necessary machinery to construct HDWFs from ab initio within the full-potential linearized augmented plane-wave method (FLAPW). We apply our implementation to accurately interpolate the Hamiltonian of a one-dimensional magnetic chain of Mn atoms in two important cases of $\bfλ$: (i) the spin-spiral vector $\boldsymbol q$, and (ii) the direction of the ferromagnetic magnetization $\hat{\boldsymbol m}$. Using the generalized interpolation of the energy, we extract the corresponding values of magneto-crystalline anisotropy energy, Heisenberg exchange constants, and spin stiffness, which compare very well with the values obtained from direct first principles calculations. For toy models we demonstrate that the method of HDWFs can also be used in applications such as the virtual crystal approximation, ferroelectric polarization and spin torques.
