XAS with HSE

#1 Post by huiyao_kuang » Fri Jun 26, 2026 6:45 pm

1. Can VASP compute the XAS core-level spectrum on a spin polarized system?
2. I have a deep core hole with ionization energy closed to 7000 eV. How to print the absorption spectrum in a defined energy range instead of starting from 0 eV?

Dear huiyao_kuang,

1. Can VASP compute the XAS core-level spectrum on a spin polarized system?

XAS can be calculated in VASP for spin-polarized systems with both SCH and BSE methods.

2. I have a deep core hole with ionization energy closed to 7000 eV. How to print the absorption spectrum in a defined energy range instead of starting from 0 eV?

Currently, the BSE XAS code calculates the dielectric function from starting from 0 eV. However, CLE tag can used to shift the core-level energy to avoid calculating the spectrum in the full energy range.

Best,
Alexey
