I guess that for the "topological" characterisation you need the irreducible representation of the bands and not just their number
e.g.: Gamma 6 (G6) means you have a e1/2 band, etc. see below In the output of irrep you will find something like: The point group is Td 24 symmetry operations in 5 classes Table 81 on page 88 in Koster et al [7] Table 73.4 on page 637 in Altmann et al [8] E 8C3 3C2 6IC4 6IC2` ... -------------------------------------- G6 E1/2 2 1 0 /2 0 G7 E5/2 2 1 0 -/2 0 G8 F3/2 4 -1 0 0 0 etc and then you find (where 51 to 59 is the "Bandindex" of some bands at the Gamma-point (0,0,0) that I selected to be in the vicinity of the Fermi energy, as an example) bnd ndg eigval E 2IC4 C2 2C2` 2IC2" ... ... 51 2 0.505713 2.00+0.00i 1.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 1.41+0.00i 0.00+0.00i =G6 53 2 0.540351 2.00+0.00i 1.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i -1.41+0.00i 0.00+0.00i =G7 55 4 0.594669 4.00+0.00i -1.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i =G8 59 2 0.651442 2.00+0.00i 1.00+0.00i 0.00+0.00i -1.41+0.00i 0.00+0.00i =G7 ... I guess the Band index -- here 51 etc. -- has not much meaning other than it is the number of a band with 1 being the number of the lowest state wherever Wien2k starts to count in the energy window, if you start at the bottom of the valence band you will have different numbers. as I told before you have to run lapw1, irrep etc. for 1 k-point with the correct switches ! Be sure to read and understand the textbooks [7,8] that are cited by Wien2k and that are given above. Ciao Gerhard DEEP THOUGHT in D.
