Calculating UV/VIS and X-ray Absorption spectra with ADF, web presentation by Mauro Stener

Mauro Stener discusses ADF's attractive features for calculating optical properties of large nanoparticles. Recent efforts to further increase TDDFT efficiency pave the way for studying even larger nanoparticles, such as large ligand-capped metal clusters. Mauro will also discuss how ADF's spin-orbit-TDDFT and Slater-TS methods can be used to accurately and efficiently calculate X-ray absorption spectra (NEXAFS, XANES). A few hands-on examples will be shown to help you with calculating your own UV/VIS and X-ray spectra with ADF.
