TDDFT Core states

Hi Alexander,

This can be done with the ecut keyword in the TDDFT block. This keyword enables restricted excitation window TDDFT (REW-TDDFT). This is an approach best suited for core excitations. By specifying this keyword only excitations from occupied states below the energy cutoff will be considered.

For example,

echo
start h2o_core

memory 1000 mb

geometry units au
O 0       0        0
H 0 1.430 -1.107
H 0 -1.430 -1.107
end


basis
 O library 6-31g*
H library 6-31g*
end

dft
 xc beckehandh
end

tddft
 ecut -10
nroots 10
notriplet
end
task tddft

Here only excitations from occupied orbitals below -10 Hartrees will be cosidered.

Let me know if there are any issues.
