[DFTB-Plus-User] "EnergyWindow" settings for "Casida Excited State Calculations"

[Chencheng Fan]

Dear all,

may anyone know or use the “EnergyWindow” in “Casida” part? Did it work for you? I don’t know why the keyword in my test doesn’t make any difference. Neither does the “OscillatorWindow” keyword.

Bests

> I wanted to use “EnergyWindow = 12.4” to include all Excitations whose energy below 12.4eV. I tried on Benezene and found that I have to set NrOfExcitations, for example which equals to 15 temporarily. Then, I always get a result of 15 excited states where the energy for the last transition is 8.444eV. So I can’t include the other transitions below 12.4eV. Could you please help me to figure out where is the problem? Thank you very much in advance.
