[Octopus-users] TDDFT at finite temperature

[Pan Piin-Ruey]

Dear octopus users,
   I found that there is a variable in octopus that controls the electronic occupations (SmearingFunction = Fermi_dirac), and I want to learn more about it. 
Can someone give me theoretical information about how octopus combines finite temperature and TDDFT?
 
P.S. I’m new to TDDFT; I have researched the topic using google for a while, but I couldn’t find the answer I want. 
(The information I found are mostly about non-equilibrium Green function, but not Time-propagation or Linear response at finite temperature. )
 
Thanks a lot!
 
Sincerely yours
