mowindow

Enable the selective perturbation (SP) approach introduced in Kadek et al. PCCP 17, 22566 (2015). SP enables to represent the perturbation and response operators only in selected molecular orbitals, allowing thus to address a specific spectral region in RT-TDSCF simulations, as well as to eliminate nonphysical excitations that are artifacts of the finite basis representation. This keyword is very important for core-level spectroscopies.

  • Input block
  • Extended variant

    mowindow:
    occupied: [intial-mo-index] - [final-mo-index]
    virtual:  [intial-mo-index] - [final-mo-index]

  • Default
  • none

  • Example
  • mowindow:
             occupied:   4-6
    

    mowindow:
             occupied:   7-10
             virtual:   15-46
    


transition-analysis

Enable the transition density matrix analysis (TDMA) introduced in Repisky et al. JCTC 11, 980 (2015). TDMA enables to perform the orbital analysis of spectral transitions in RT-TDSCF simulations.

  • Input block
  • Extended variant

    transition-analysis:
    occupied: [intial-mo-index] - [final-mo-index]
    virtual:  [intial-mo-index] - [final-mo-index]
    threshold: [real]

  • Default
  • none

  • Example
  • transition-analysis:
             occupied:   8-10
             virtual:   11-25
             threshold: 1.0e-5

time-steps

Define the time propagation details.

  • Input line
  • time-steps: [number-time-steps] x [time-step-length]
