Hi,

In essence, it seems unproblematic.

I don't think that the usage of the momentum matrix elements is invalidated by these observations. These phases must cancel out somewhere.

I know from the mstar code, which uses them, that it is fine.

I don't know about transverse conductivity.

For Berry phases we use the Berrypi module, which uses matrix elements from w2wannier.

Dear Prof. Blaha,

   Thank you for your prompt reply.

   I currently use ifort + mkl (composer_se_2013.0.079).

The difference between the two momentum matrices is in the same order of magnitude as the momentum matrix itself, so it does not seem like noise. The momentum matrix for 2-kpt case is as follows:

while the one for 101-kpt case is

 However, it appears that the symmetrized squared momentum matrix elements do have only numerical noise. They are:

I am wondering if this means that i can't calculate the transverse conductivity and Berry curvature from the momentum matrix output by OPTIC?

  Thank you for your response and support. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.


Best regards,
