Mixed Wannier-Bloch functions for electrons and phonons in periodic systems.

We introduce mixed Wannier-Bloch functions for studying electronic and vibrational spectra of periodic systems. These functions carry both spatial localization and limited spectral broadening, thereby combining the advantages of descriptions based on energy eigenstates (Bloch states) and position ei...
