LIBMBD_VDW_PARAMS_KIND = ts |
Default: LIBMBD_VDW_PARAMS_KIND = tssurf 

Description: LIBMBD_TS_SR sets the value of the scaling factor in the Tkatchenko-Scheffler method[1] as implemented in the library libMBD of many-body dispersion methods[2][3][4].


LIBMBD_VDW_PARAMS_KIND allows to choose the value of the scaling factor in the Tkatchenko-Scheffler method[1] as implemented in the library libMBD of many-body dispersion methods[2][3][4]. The value is internally passed to the libMBD input ts_sr described at the page [5]. LIBMBD_VDW_PARAMS_KIND is similar to the LTSSURF tag that is used for the VASP implementation of the Tkatchenko-Scheffler method.

Mind: LIBMBD_TS_SR can be set only if LIBMBD_XC=none.
Important: This feature is available from VASP.6.5.0 onwards that needs to be compiled with -DLIBMBD.

libMBD is a separate library package that has to be downloaded[3] and compiled before VASP is compiled with the corresponding precompiler options and links to the libraries.
