<p>Dear Abhirup,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Thank you for clarifications! <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Please note that the turbo_eels code works for the noncollinear spin-polarization (noncolin=.true.), and including the spin-orbit coupling (if needed). The turbo_eels code works for the general k-points implementation (k=0 is allowed), but it does not work
for the "gamma_only" case (i.e. using tricks to speed up calculations).<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>The turbo_lanczos and turbo_davidson codes (which are for the absorption spectroscopy) do not work in the spin-polarized case (both collinear and noncollinear) - yes, you are right.</p>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-size:large">Thanks for the email. Sorry about not explaining it well. Here is what I meant: With spin-polarization and with gamma only kmesh none of the TDDFT code works (i.e. turbo_davidson, turbo_eels, turbo_lanczos).
So it is difficult to simulate optical spectra for a "neutral (tot_charge = 0)" doped/defected structure. By "works", I meant that I could run the regular scf-calculation and TDDFT codes for any "non-zero (tot_charge = -1 or +1)" charged structure using "gamma
only" kmesh and "non spin-polarization". <br>

<p>Sorry, I miss the point. Could you clarify please what do you mean by saying "it works"? Do you refer to the k-points implementation of the turbo_davidson code or something else? The k-points algorithm must be disabled for all cases (neutral and charged
cases), and if this not the case, then I will modify the code in order to disable it.</p>

</p>
<p>Yes, I understand the issue. I do not know if it is feasible. You may try to use e.g. Yambo and see how it goes. Otherwise, since you have already quite a big cell, maybe with k=0 you obtain quite a reasonably converged spectrum (to be checked w.r.t. the
cell size) at the TDDFT level in the adiabatic approximation.</p>

<p>Dear Abhirup,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>As you can see from the error message of the turbo_davidson code, the k-points algorithm is not supported. Only Gamma point sampling can be used.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>If I understand correctly, your system is a solid, right? And you want to use a unit cell with a k-points mesh, right? The turbo_davidson cannot be used in this case. You may try to use a supercell with a Gamma point sampling. But be careful when using TDDFT
in the adiabatic approximation for the absorption spectroscopy of solids. I recommend that you check literature on this topic. Maybe you will need to resort to the BSE approach.</p>
