About the mirror chern number

[Dominik Gresch]

Dear Hulei Yu,

Yes, Z2Pack can be used to calculate mirror Chern numbers. The way this 
is done is by calculating overlap matrices only for the +i or -i 
eigenstates, instead of all bands. This is currently implemented for 
Quantum Espresso 5.3 in the 'pw2z2pack' routine. You can find it here: 
https://github.com/Z2PackDev/Z2Pack/tree/dev/current/examples/fp/pw2z2pack, 
along with an example for SnTe.

Best regards,

Dominik Gresch
