Dipole moment from Wannier functions

[Rahul verma]

Hello Users,

I have performed a BOMD simulation of liquid water using cp2k. I obtained 128 Wannier centers corresponding to 4 electrons pairs for each of 32 water molecules ( 4 * 32).
I have figured out that of these 4 Wannier centers corresponding to valence electrons in outer shell of H2O,  2 are around oxygen and 2 are centered near hydrogens. I want
to calculate the dipole moment of OH mode of the each water molecule. I would be glad if someone can guide me with the mathematical details ( or expression) for the
calculation of dipole moment of an OH bond (or mode) using these wannier centers.

Best Regards,
Rahul Verma

Hi

so you have successfully separated the molecules and you can calculate
molecular dipoles. Now, to split the molecular dipoles further (again a
arbitrary process) you have to come up with a model.
For example you can set the oxygen atom as reference and calculate
dipoles from each hydrogen atom and its corresponding WC and from the two
lone pairs. Or you could try to split the lone pair contributions on the
O-H dipoles. It's really up to you to come up with something that makes
sense for your application.
