LUSE VDW: Difference between revisions

LUSE_VDW = [logical]
Default: LUSE_VDW = .FALSE.

Description: LUSE_VDW=.TRUE. switches on the use of a nonlocal vdW-DF functional. These functionals depend on the electron density at two points in space and model long-range van der Waals (dispersion) correlation effects.

Mind: In versions of VASP prior to 6.4.0, a meta-GGA functional (e.g., SCAN) could be combined only with the rVV10 nonlocal functional. Conversely, a GGA functional could be combined only with the original nonlocal functional of Dion et al.. This restriction is lifted since VASP.6.4.0 thanks to the introduction of the IVDW_NL tag.

-For LDA and GGA functionals ({{TAG|GGA}} tag), a variant of the [[Nonlocal vdW-DF functionals|vdW-DF functional of Langreth and Lundqvist et al.]] is used, whereas for the meta-GGA functionals ({{TAG|METAGGA}} tag), the [[Nonlocal vdW-DF functionals|rVV10 functional]] is selected. The section linked above explains both variants.
