<p>Dear Dr. L<span>urii,</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Thanks for suggestion, I will try turboEELS. </span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>But I can find the input description of turbo_EELS . </span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>What is the meaning of q ?</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span><span>How can we get (x y z) 3 Polarization direction ? use the command <span>ipol = 4 ? like the turbo_lanczos?</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span><br>
</span></span></span></p>
<p><span><span><span>Many thanks!</span></span></span></p>

<p>Dear Clarence,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>When posting to pw_forum please do not forget to write your affiliation!<br>

</p>
<p>> As far as I know, the <span>turboTDDFT is not extended to metals, <br>
</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>Yes, you are right.<br>
</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p><span>> So we should use fixed occupation in the scf calculation, right?</span><br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yes</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<span>> However, if I use fixed occupation in scf, the error is </span>
<div>> ' charge is wrong: smearing is needed '. Because the system considered is odd electron.
</div>
<div><br>
Then you have to use smearing. I think there is no workaround with turboTDDFT for metals: one has to extend it to metals.<br>
<br>
</div>
<div>> What should I do to calculate the adsorption coefficiency of system with odd electrons.</div>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>aBsorption, not aDsorption<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Probably you may try to use turboEELS, which is extended to metals. Namely, use very small q (but not exactly zero) and plot the imaginary part of the dielectric function.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>HTH</p>
