The linear-response TDDFT module was extended to spin-flip excitations. This extension is capable to make collinear and noncollinear SF-TDDFT calculations. Some key details of the implementation are:

  • The noncollinear kernel used is the Wang & Ziegler kernel with a screening in the denominator to stabilize it
  • The noncollinear kernel derivative is calculated by finite differences

Impressive work, especially with the analytical 3rd derivatives (even without mGGAs)!
I have found a few typos. It would be great if you could fix them.
