<br />Hello Natalia,<div><br /></div><div>Regarding the mismatch between CP2K and Gaussian TDDFT results, once should use the TDA keyword in Gaussian instead of TD to get an exact match as CP2K employs the Tamm-Dancoff approximation. Furthermore, I would highly recommend turning on the Poisson section and setting the solver to MT instead of analytical.</div><div><br /></div><div><p style="margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: Menlo; font-size-adjust: none; font-kerning: auto; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-feature-settings: normal; font-optical-sizing: auto; font-variation-settings: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures;"> &POISSON</span></p>

With these additions I think you will be able to match the RTP spectrum better, but I would not expect a perfect match. In my opinion what you have with the positions of the sticks is not so bad.</div><div><br /></div><div>Best,</div><div>Beliz</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><div><div dir="auto">On Monday, 10 July 2023 at 10:55:39 UTC+2 Natalia K wrote:<br /></div><blockquote style="margin: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; border-left-width: 1px; border-left-style: solid; border-left-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div>Dear community,</div><div><br /></div><div>I am calculating the absorption spectra for a silver chain using both linear response (TDDFPT) and real-time propagation implemented in CP2K 9.1. Within the RT propagation, I apply a delta kick in all three directions and then take the Fourier transform of the dipole moment and get the average (over three directions) spectrum that is in a very good agreement with the literature. In particular, with another GGA linear-response calculation with the Gaussian code (image attached, top - my results, bottom - reference). Within the TDDFPT approach, I calculate the oscillator strength which should give the same frequencies as the real-time approach, but it doesn't. In the figure attached, the oscillator strength is plotted with impulses. I tested many different parameters but LR never agrees with RT. I also tested a simpler system, a water molecule, and got a better agreement between the two methods, but still not as perfect as here, for instance: <a href="https://nwchemgit.github.io/RT-TDDFT.html#absorption-spectrum-of-water" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://nwchemgit.github.io/RT-TDDFT.html#absorption-spectrum-of-water</a></div><div><br /></div><div>I would appreciate any help or suggestion. I attach both RT and LR input files used to obtain the results on the figure.</div><div><br /></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br /></div><div>Natalia<br /></div></blockquote></div></div>
