Hi, So if we have a material with z-parity, like monolayer MoS2, one should have the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian should also be eigenstates of the z-parity operator with eigenvalues +/- 1. For MoS2 and other TMDC's where one can use p and d-orbitals, it is fairly easy to find a unitary transformation which makes the tight-binding Hamiltonian decouple into two seperate parity blocks, but for other materials, it seems harder. What i was wondering was if it is possible to construct the matrix elements of the Parity operator in the Wannier basis, so that one could just find the parity of a state by multiplying it onto the eigenstates? Im using it for BSE-calculations where the BSE-Hamiltonian also (approximately) decouples into blocks of different parity states.
