Dear Tokiwa-san,
DFTB+ does not offer analytical second derivatives. However, you can
numericlly calculate the Hessian matrix using the SecondDerivatives{}
driver. It is described in detail in the manual. Since the numerical
derivation is quite slow, I am not sure if this will be fast enough for a
transition state search.
Best,
Jan
