Description

It is shown that the highest and most prominent peak in the density of states of fcc Ni at the top end of the d region can be derived from antibonding Wannier functions of Γ12' (h symmetry) centered at (1/2, 1/2, 1/2) in units of the lattice constant. It is suggested that there is a close relationship between high peaks in the density of states of other systems and similar compact bases consisting of non-atom-centered localized functions
