Hi Niri,

Thanks for your reply. But is there a way to infer the transition dipole moment direction from ab initio calculation? I am thinking something like transition density might be able to give a hint on this (naively I would think that the transition dipole might go from the negative parts to the positive parts in the transition density plot.), but I am really not sure about this (I am assuming that the transition density plot does not have the sign issue.). Thanks again.

Best,
Liang
