Dear Nicola, thanks a lot for the detailed reply and the references you gave me. Specifically, I'm dealing with the creation of very large slab Hamiltonians within the formalism shown in the WannierTools paper, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cpc.2017.09.033. So, I wonder if this way of creating the slab Hamiltonians is always valid. By repeating your original MLWF TB along one direction and whenever the MLWFs are well-within the unit cell it certainly works, but if the localization surpasses the unit-cell it could be no longer valid, right? Maybe in that case, to follow the same steps shown the paper you need a supercell before as a starting point to create the slab. Does my question make sense? I hope I was clear enough to point out the doubt.
