Example: HDA spin-orbit coupled excitation energies: H2O¶

#!/bin/sh

# Calculation of the spin-orbit (SO) coupled excitation energies of H2O using the 
# Hybrid Diagonal Approximation (HDA).
# Relevant in case hybrid XC functionals are used.
# For HDA icw SO symmetry NOSYM is required.
# For speed reasons one should not use a too large value for HDA_CutOff.
