ERROR:ndb.BSS_diago not found

Post by edwardsjethro » Wed Mar 06, 2024 5:15 am

Dear all,
I am doing a BSE calculation with the inversion solver, and got the output file ndb.BSS_diago.
When I want to analyze the exciton property with ypp -e , it crashed with the message "ERROR:ndb.BSS_diago not found"?
So, I have to do the BSE calculation with the diagonalization solver so that I can get ndb.BSS_diago and analyze the exciton property with ypp -e?
Thanks in advance.

Dear edwardsjethro,

Yes, if you want to analyze exciton, you need to diagonalize the Hamiltonian either via a full diagonalization or using the slepc solver (iterative method).

Best,
Daniele
