[CP2K-user] [CP2K:12316] Wannier function calculation

[SS]

Thank you Patrick Gono for your help.

I have some doubts regarding the CP2K_INPUT 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT.html> / FORCE_EVAL 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL.html> / DFT 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT.html> / LOCALIZE 
<https://manual.cp2k.org/trunk/CP2K_INPUT/FORCE_EVAL/DFT/LOCALIZE.html>  section 
you mentioned. Here I could only find the keywords LIST and LIST_UNOCCUPIED 
for indices of occupied and unoccupied states. I think you were mentioning 
about this. If not please correct me.
As you mentioned it is better to localize all the orbitals and select the 
needed one later. 
Is there any way to do  the calculation particularly for an atom in the 
system? Like just for the metal atom in the system.

Thank you 
Shyam
