Hi David, Thank you for the nice explanation and suggestions. I tried to increase the mesh spacing, but the problem still persists. The time-dependent observable that I calculate should according to symmetry be 60-degree periodic in ZnO , but there is a small error. I also tried using symmetr

Lun Yue, As far as the implementation is concerned, I hope some of my collaborators who are closer to the code will answer you. My feeling is that, once the Hermiticity is enforced, you are just dealing with the intrinsic presence of the mesh discretization error, and if this error is a problem

[Wannier] Hermiticity of Berry potential matrix

2023-05-30 Thread Lun Yue
Dear all, I am writing a real-time propagation code that requires high accuracy of the the Berry connection matrix A_{nm}(k) = i in the Hamiltonian gauge, which is e.g. given in WYSV2006 Eq.(25) and depends on A in the Wannier gauge. However, in the calculation of the Berry connection matrix
