Dear Lurii,


Thank for your helpful instruction.


From the results,  there are two parts in chi_1_1. (real part and imaginary part) . No adsorption coefficients


How can we calculate the adsorption coefficients from polarizability?


The result is shown as follow:


#Chi is reported as CHI_(i)_(j) \hbar \omega (Ry)  Re(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry) Im(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry)

Dear LIANG Xiongyi,

Yes

> And what is the unit of absorption coefficients?

Arbitrary units. What is important is the relative intensity of the peaks and their position.

> Can we get the absorption coefficients   along x axis and y axis, respectively?​


Yes, you can get this information from the chi_i_j matrix: chi_1_1 is the diagonal component along X axis, chi_2_2 is the diagonal component along Y axis, etc. Notice that depending on the symmetry of the molecule under study there might be also non-zero off-diagonal elements in the chi_i_j matrix. In order to obtain the absorption coefficient along a specific direction, do not forget to multiply chi_i_j by frequency. Recall how the S(w) is computed: S(w) ~ w * \sum_j chi_j_j(w).

Dear Lurii,


Thank you very much.


I have collect all S(E) from the out file plot_chi.dat.




# S(E) satisfies the sum rule
     S(E)=  0.000000000000000E+00  0.000000000000000E+00
     S(E)=  0.100000000000000E-03  0.574659324721647E-06
     S(E)=  0.200000000000000E-03  0.229864029025929E-05
     S(E)=  0.300000000000000E-03  0.517195187076012E-05
     S(E)=  0.400000000000000E-03  0.919460902323344E-05
     S(E)=  0.500000000000000E-03  0.143666326876961E-04
     S(E)=  0.600000000000000E-03  0.206880497873775E-04
     S(E)=  0.700000000000000E-03  0.281588932289815E-04
     S(E)=  0.800000000000000E-03  0.367792019030096E-04
     S(E)=  0.900000000000000E-03  0.465490206841405E-04
     S(E)=  0.100000000000000E-02  0.574684004316713E-04

First column is energy (Ry), and the second is absorption coefficients, right? And what is the unit of absorption coefficients?

Can we get the absorption coefficients   along x axis and y axis, respectively?

Best regards

Dear Clarence,


Before continuing using turboTDDFT, I strongly recommend to read (at least) these two publications:


1. turboTDDFT – A code for the simulation of molecular spectra using the Liouville–Lanczos approach
to time-dependent density-functional perturbation theory  Original Research Article
Authors: Osman Baris Malcioglu, Ralph Gebauer, Dario Rocca, Stefano Baroni
Source: Computer Physics Communications   Volume: 182  Article Number: 1744  Published: APR 2011

2. turboTDDFT 2.0 - Hybrid functionals and new algorithms within time-dependent
density-functional perturbation theory
Authors: X. Ge, S. J. Binnie, D. Rocca, R. Gebauer, and S. Baroni
Source: Computer Physics Communications  Volume: 185  Article Number: 2080  Published: MAR 2014


The full list of publications about the TDDFPT module of Quantum ESPRESSO can be found in qe/TDDFPT/README.


The 3x3 matrix chi_i_j is the polarizability (i and j run over the Cartesian components x, y, z, which in the plot_chi.dat file correspond to 1, 2, 3, respectively) - see Eq.(5) in the first reference mentioned above. In the file *.plot_chi.dat in the header you can see what is the meaning of each column, i.e.:

second column - energy \hbar \omega (Ry)

third column      - real part of the polarizability Re(chi)

fourth column    - imaginary part of the polarizability Im(chi)


In the same plot_chi.dat file, there is also the information (only if you performed Lanczos calculations along three Cartesian directions, i.e. ipol=4 - see the first reference above) about S(E) (second column) as a function of the energy (first column), which is the oscillator strength (the absorption coefficient). It is defined as (see the output file produced by turbo_spectrum.x, i.e. *.tddfpt_pp-out):


S(\hbar \omega) = 2m/( 3 \pi e^2 \hbar)  \omega sum_j chi_j_j

Dear QE users,


Now, I use the turbo_lanczos.x and turbo_spectrum to get the absorption spectrum.


I can get a plot_chi.dat file, as follow:


#Chi is reported as CHI_(i)_(j) \hbar \omega (Ry)  Re(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry) Im(chi) (e^2*a_0^2/Ry)

What is meaning of each row and how can I get the absorption coefficients?


Many thanks.
