#!/bin/sh # Excited state geometry optimization using TD-DFT+TB, for the molecule p-Benzoquinone. # The triplet excited state T3 is optimized. # This method is meant for GGA or LDA functionals. In this example PBE # is used during the SCF. In the the calculation of the excitation energies the # TD-DFTB+TB method is used in which the required integrals are approximated in # the same way as in a TD-DFTB calculation. Symmetry NOSYM is required. # For excited state gradients all electron basis sets are required. # Note that for symmetric systems, one could perturb the coordinates # to break the symmetry of the system. This can be done, for example, # by including PerturbCoordinates 0.05 in the System block. # In this example this is not done, which in practice means that the # molecule remains symmetric. $AMSBIN/ams <
