<p><br>
</p>
<p>Yes, you can do that. But I recommend you to check carefully other literature for various levels of theory/approximations for computing the optical properties of molecules and solids. One good reference is <a href="https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.74.601" id="LPlnk36013" style="font-size:12pt">https://journals.aps.org/rmp/abstract/10.1103/RevModPhys.74.601</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt">BTW, there is the turboEELS code in the TDDFPT package </span><span style="font-size:12pt">to compute the loss function. </span><br>
</p>

<div class="PlainText">Dear Dr. Timrov,<br>
<br>
Thank you again for your help.<br>
So, since the aim was to compare the absorption curve obtained with epsilon.x, turbo_Lanczos, and turbo_Davidson, the value was relevant. Ok.<br>
<br>
One last question. <br>
Can I use the values obtained with Turbo_Lanczos to plot the other optical properties (refractive index, extinction coefficient, absorption, loss function, reflectivity, and conductivity) by applying the equations in M Jubair et al 2019 J. Phys. Commun. 3 055017
or should I use different methods? <br>
<br>
For example, the refractive index is obtained by:<br>
<br>
n(¦Ø) = 1/(2)**1/2 [(¦Å1(¦Ø)**2 - ¦Å2(¦Ø)**2)**1/2 - ¦Å1(¦Ø)]**1/2<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks for your help<br>
