Has anyone used Critic2 with Quantum ESPRESSO? Need help to determine non-nuclear charge determination

I have installed Critic2. Need to know how to determine interstitial site locations of a structure and their charges in those sites (in non nuclear maxima sites). I have calculated 3D charge densities ...

Difference between pi-pi* transition and intramolecular charge transfer ICT in organic solar cells?

Intramolecular charge transfer (ICT( occurs from donors to acceptors in molecules. This phenomenon can be observed by visualizing the charge distribution patterns of HOMO and LUMO. While studying D-A ...
