winSileWannier90

class sisl.io.wannier90.winSileWannier90(filename, mode='r', comment=None, *args, **kwargs)

Wannier seedname input file object

This Sile enables easy interaction with the Wannier90 code.

A seedname is the basis of reading all Wannier90 output because every file in Wannier90 is based of the name of the seed.

Hence, if the correct flags are present in the seedname.win file, and the corresponding files are created, then the corresponding quantity may be read.

For instance to read the Wannier-centres you must have this in your seedname.win:

write_xyz = true translate_home_cell = False

while if you want to read the Wannier Hamiltonian you should have this:

write_xyz = true plot_hr = true translate_home_cell = False

Examples

>>> wan90 = get_sile('seedname.win')
>>> H = wan90.read_hamiltonian()
>>> H = wan90.read_hamiltonian(dtype=numpy.float64)
>>> H = wan90.read_hamiltonian(cutoff=0.00001)
