<p>Dear Dr. Sergi Vela,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>With the current implementation of the Lanczos algorithm in the turboTDDFT program it is not possible to perform analysis of the origin of individual peaks in the absorption spectrum. However, such an analysis can be done using another flavor of the turboTDDFT
code, namely the turbo_davidson.x program. More information can be found in this publication:
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>X. Ge, S. J. Binnie, D. Rocca, R. Gebauer, and S. Baroni, "turboTDDFT 2.0—Hybrid functionals and new algorithms within time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory", Comput. Phys. Commun. 185, 2080 (2014).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>With the so-called turboDavidson code (turbo_davidson.x) you can compute the absorption spectrum (the same as with Lanczos) but as a plus in the output file you will find the information about the origin of the peaks (from which occupied level to which
empty level there was a transition and what is the corresponding intensity etc.). However, if you are interested in computing the spectrum in a very wide energy range, then turboDavidson becomes too expensive, and hence it is recommended to use the Lanczos algorithm (at
the cost described above, i.e. no information about the origin of the peaks).</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>HTH</p>

</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>
<p>Iurii <br>
