CUTOFF_MU = [real] ( [real] )
| Default: CUTOFF_MU | = 0.8 * Fermi level of a system with NUM_WANN orbitals occupied |
Description: CUTOFF_MU specifies the energy cutoff in eV for the function specified by CUTOFF_MU.
The value of CUTOFF_MU corresponds to the energy cutoff of the cutoff function used to obtain Wannier functions with the one-shot method. The meaning of depends on the CUTOFF_TYPE tag.
For spin-polarized calculations (ISPIN = 2), two values can be specified for CUTOFF_MU, one for each spin channel.
If only a single value is specified, it will be used for both spin channels.
The default value is computed by first determining the Fermi level of the system if it had NUM_WANN orbitals occupied and multiplying by 0.8. This gives reasonable freedom to determine the unitary transformation from Bloch states to Wannier functions.
| Tip: Careful tuning of this parameter is required to obtain a good Wannierization. |
