[CP2K:10343] transition dipole moment

Dear Prof. Hutter,

Thanks for your reply.

In the equation, k is 2*pi/L (L is the length of the supercell), right?

Btw, how to evaluate the integral using atomic basis functions?
I guess I need first print the EIGENVECTORs of the corresponding
molecular orbitals. Then, replace the |phi_A> with the printed
coefficients. But can this eliminate the r dependence? Also, the printed
coefficients by cp2k are not normalized, can I use them directly?
Can you give me any clue?

Best,
Xiaoming
