</div></div>Dear Fatima,<br>
<br>
it is hard to tell without the knowledge of the compound, however in<br>
general sharp peaks like this near the absorption edge are usually<br>
caused by excitonic effects, which are not included in the optic<br>
package (it uses just random phase approximation without local field<br>
effects). If you compound is not too complicated and you are skilled<br>
enough, you can try the BSE unsupported package which can calculate the<br>
optical spectra including the excitons to see it helps. Just be warned,<br>
it is unsupported and much less documented than the Wien2k standards.<br>
Moreover, to get even somewhat converged results requires a LOT of CPU<br>
time and a LOT of memory.<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
