Density Functional Calculation of X-Ray Absorption Spectra within the Core Hole Approximation: An Implementation in NWChem

Density functional theory is used to calculate the core excitation spectra of titanium structures. Specifically, the core-hole approximation is used. In this scenario, the excitation energies of core electrons are calculated using the approximation that the core energy level be frozen throughout the...
