Dear All,
> As far as I remember you might want to go up to 150-200 eV (if not more for > some cases) to be converged with respect to sum rule. Yes, this is the point. Integrations must be done to high energies, and this is not expensive at all using turbo_spectrum.

The calculations finish with no major problems, however, the output file showed a violation of around 17% of the sum rule. I've increased the k points sampling with no appreciable changes to the sum rule. I've changed the method between TDDFT and IPA, with no significant changes to the rule. Is it a problem with the pseudopotential (I've tried NC and USPP from SSSP Material Cloud)? I'm using a small q vector (~0,001) to get the minimum perturbation to the system, could it be the problem? Thanks in advance Anibal Bezerra The Federal University of Alfenas Alfenas - MG Brazil
