Projectability Disentanglement for VASP + Wannier90

#1 Post by zach_vanfossan » Wed Jan 21, 2026 8:21 pm

Hi all,

I'm trying to perform wannierization for a set of highly entangled bands near the fermi level in GdBiPt. There's a recent paper cited below that demonstrated a successful strategy for wannierizing orbitals for systems such as this by adding hydrogenic orbitals to existing pseudopotentials. Their code is only implemented in Quantum espresso, however, and I'm wondering how to replicate this using the LOCPROJ tag in VASP if this is even possible. Please let me know of any suggestions you have.

Thanks,
Zach
