{{{ Keyword: Real time TDDFT, Real-space, finite element basis set.
Octopus is a pseudopotential real-space package aimed at the simulation of the electron-ion dynamics of one-, two-, and three-dimensional finite systems subject to time-dependent electromagnetic fields. The program is based on time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT) in the Kohn-Sham scheme. All quantities are expanded in a regular mesh in real space, and the simulations are performed in real time. The program has been successfully used to calculate linear and non-linear absorption spectra, harmonic spectra, laser induced fragmentation, etc. of a variety of systems. The fundamentals of DFT and TDDFT can be found, e.g., in the books [1] and [1] . All information about the octopus package can be found in its homepage, http://www.tddft.org/programs/octopus/, and in the articles [1] and [1] .
The main advantage of real-space methods is the simplicity and intuitiveness of the whole procedure. First of all, quantities like the density or the wave-functions are very simple to visualize in real space. Furthermore, the method is fairly simple to implement numerically for 1-, 2-, or 3-dimensional systems, and for a variety of different boundary conditions. For example, one can study a finite system, a molecule, or a cluster without the need of a super-cell, simply by imposing that the wave-functions are zero at a surface far enough from the system. In the same way, an infinite system, a polymer, a surface, or bulk material can be studied by imposing the appropriate cyclic boundary conditions. Note also that in the real-space method there is only one convergence parameter, namely the grid-spacing, and that decreasing the grid spacing always improves the result.
Unfortunately, real-space methods suffer from a few drawbacks. For example, most of the real-space implementations are not variational, i.e., we may find a total energy lower than the true energy, and if we reduce the grid-spacing the energy can actually increase. Moreover, the grid breaks translational symmetry, and can also break other symmetries that the system may possess. This can lead to the artificial lifting of some degeneracies, to the appearance of spurious peaks in spectra, etc. Of course all these problems can be minimized by reducing the grid-spacing.

Wiki logs

1 Add Wiki theme moin-mandarin. Look at the link https://bitbucket.org/thesheep/moin-mandarin

2 Try to edit a bdftheme from modernized theme.

  1. Make a copy of the 'modern' theme in the static files directory and call it 'bdftheme'
  2. Copy the script of this theme MoinMoin/theme/modern.py' to data/plugins/theme/bdftheme.py
  3. Edit the file 'bdftheme.py' and change at least the variable name = "modernized" to {name ="bdftheme"

Filename for all kind of local orbitals in BDF:

 1. localorb   - local orbital generated by BDF module localmo. Boys and trust region methods are used in orbital localization. 
 2. blmo  - Boys.
 3. tlmo  - Trust region.
 4. flmoorb - fragment local orbital generated by bottom-up method.
 5. pflmo  - norm-orthogonal pFLMO.

BDF git version control user's guide

Start from a clean BDF copy bdfpkg

Create directory
  cd bdfpkg
Initial a git bare repository. Notice we also use flag --shared. 
  git init --bare --shared
  git add
  git config --global user.name "your name"
  git config --global user.email "youremail@domain"
  git commit -m "Creat BDF package store"

get a bdf work copy

Obtain a bdf work copy
  git clone youname@10.105.153.100:/export/gitroot/bdf-pkg
You need set some general information such as user name and user email.
  git config --global user.name "Your name"
  git config --global user.email "youremail@domain"
