abstract = {When using Wannier functions to study the electronic
structure of multiparameter Hamiltonians H(k,λ) carrying a
dependence on crystal momentum k and an additional periodic
parameter λ, one usually constructs several sets of Wannier
functions for a set of values of λ. We present the concept
of higher-dimensional Wannier functions (HDWFs), which
provide a minimal and accurate description of the electronic
structure of multiparameter Hamiltonians based on a single
set of HDWFs. The obstacle of nonorthogonality of Bloch
functions at different λ is overcome by introducing an
auxiliary real space, which is reciprocal to the parameter
λ. We derive a generalized interpolation scheme and
emphasize the essential conceptual and computational
simplifications in using the formalism, for instance, in the
evaluation of linear response coefficients. We further
implement the necessary machinery to construct HDWFs from ab
initio within the full potential linearized augmented
plane-wave method (FLAPW). We apply our implementation to
accurately interpolate the Hamiltonian of a one-dimensional
magnetic chain of Mn atoms in two important cases of λ: (i)
the spin-spiral vector q and (ii) the direction of the
ferromagnetic magnetization mˆ. Using the generalized
interpolation of the energy, we extract the corresponding
values of magnetocrystalline anisotropy energy, Heisenberg
exchange constants, and spin stiffness, which compare very
well with the values obtained from direct first principles
calculations. For toy models we demonstrate that the method
of HDWFs can also be used in applications such as the
virtual crystal approximation, ferroelectric polarization,
and spin torques.},
