TDTimeStep
TDTimeStep
Section Time-Dependent::Propagation
Type float
The time-step for the time propagation. For most propagators you
want to use the largest value that is possible without the
evolution becoming unstable.
While prior versions of Octopus used to have a default time step, however,
this now needs to be systematically defined.
