Re^9: Help needed with the Transition density matrix determination and analysis....

Dear Alex,
Sorry for asking you again. There is a relation between transition density and transition dipole. So please pardon me if I ask:: Will extracting Transition dipole moment matrix serve the purpose of pointing out "spatial location of the transition from ground to excited state"? It is a NSTATE*NSTATE matrix as you told too.

Kind Regards,

I would request you to elaborate the process for the same. Right now I dont have any punch file with me. Can you explain with the help of any punch file? Once that is clear, I will look for the program.
