lattice Wannier functions
R. Caracas & X. Gonze WORKSHOP ABINIT 2002 Louvain-la-Neuve Crystallography and lattice Wannier functions in ABINIT
2
CRYSTALLOGRAPHY Crystal structure = Unit cell + Symmetry +
mainly pre-processing tools Crystal structure = Unit cell + Symmetry + Atomic positions all symmetries space group all atoms asymmetric atoms check primitivity
3
space groups Space group number (spgroup) 1 .. 230
“International tables for crystallography” Space group number (spgroup) Bravais lattice (brvltt) Axis orientation (spgaxor) Axis origin (spgorig) P,F,I,A,B,C,R Hexagonal/Rhombohedral abc-cab-bca-acb-bac-cba 1/2
4
compute ALL Symmetries
symmetry recognition structural data: ALL atoms + lattice parameters compute ALL Symmetries space group point group
5
magnetic space groups A’4 I 230 non-colored groups II 230 gray groups
III 674 colored black/white groups IV 517 colored black/white groups Shubnikov point groups magnetic symbol A4 230 space groups 32 point groups

miscellaneous Determination of the wave vector symmetry group
{R|t} leaving invariant q symmetrize the dynamical matrix D Symmetrization of the stresses (relaxations) Check of the translation group

CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC LIBRARY
future work non-magnetic space groups : improve generators magnetic space groups : further testing + improvements automatic recognition CRYSTALLOGRAPHIC LIBRARY
