7.3 Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TDDFT)

7.3.12 Examples

(July 4, 2026)

Example 7.31  This example shows two jobs which request variants of time-dependent density functional theory calculations. The first job, using the default value of RPA = FALSE, performs TDDFT in the Tamm-Dancoff approximation (TDA). The second job, with RPA = TRUE performs a both TDA and full TDDFT calculations.
