<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am interested in using TDDFT to obtain excitation energies. For this Quantum ESPRESSO provides the TurboTDDFT programs (<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_lanczos.x</span></strong>,
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_spectrum.x</span></strong>,
<strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_davidson.x).<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I have used <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_lanczos.x</span></strong><b>
</b>and<b> </b><strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_spectrum.x programs to obtain absorption spectra. These spectra show excitation energies scaled by the oscillator strength for a user-defined energy range.<o:p></o:p></span></strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I am now interested in the excitation energies Quantum ESPRESSO calculates, which are the basis for the spectra. This is important to me since some excitation energies might not appear in the spectrum since their oscillator
strength is zero but still appear in the theoretical spectrum. To obtain such energies I would like to get access the excitation energies not multiplied with the oscillator strength. Is this possible with Quantum ESPRESSO?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I know that turbo_davidson yields excitation energies listed in its output files, but I am not yet sure if these energies are the energies I seek. Especially, since turbo_davidson requires an energy range specified in
its input file and <strong><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-weight:normal">turbo_lanczos does not.</span></strong><o:p></o:p></span></p>
