The vdW-DF functional is not a simple LDA xc functional. It contains a 
long-range LDA correlation contribution. Some lines extracted from the 
Modules/funct.f90 file may help to explain:

  !  "pz"= "sla+pz"= Perdew-Zunger LDA
  !  "pbe"   = "sla+pw+pbx+pbc"= PBE
  !  "revpbe"= "sla+pw+rpb+pbc"= revPBE (Zhang-Yang)

only in part, because you will start from vdw-aware wavefunctions,
but you will miss the vdw term in the second derivative of the
exchange-correlation functional. I just heard rumors that this
will be soon implemented, though

[Pw_forum] init_london Error

2011-06-30 Thread Vikas Varshney
Dear Giuseppe,

Thank you very much for the clarification. I am using GGA functionals
for my relaxation. So, as you mentioned vdw-DF is improved for LDA
type of functionals, I will stick with the london option. They gave me
correct experimental crystal parameters as well (within 2%). But it is
definitely good to know about of them and their differences.

I have one more related question if you could clarify.

Lets say for my system of interest, I want to use LDA functionals with
vdw-DF setting (which will modify the wavefunctions) and run an SCF
calculation on a previously relaxed geometry. Then, I do the phonon
dispersion calculation (which I assume will read the electronic
interaction from previously saved wavefunction information, if I run
it in the same directory as I ran SCF calculation and stored all files
in that directory). In that case, will the calculated dynamical matrix
include the interactions from vdw forces as well?

I am asking this as ph.x does not consider DFT-D2 type of interaction
(no flag for it, hopefully I will work on it) while evaluating
dynamical matrix.

Any insights will be beneficial for my knowledge as well as for future studies.

Thanks in advance.

2011-06-30 Thread Giuseppe Mattioli

Dear Vikas
No, it does not. The "london" flag activates a semiempirical point-to-point 
contribution which "simulates" dispersion interactions but does not modify 
the wavefunctions (often referred to as DFT-D2). The vdW-DF is an improved 
LDA correlation functional which accounts for long range electronic 
interactions; vdW interactions arise "naturally" as contributions to the 
Hellmann-Feynman forces. Currently, there is not a "best choice" among DFT-D2 
and vdW-DF. DFT-D2 provides the best results in the case of graphite 
stacking. vdW-DF behaves better in the case of molecule-surface interactions. 
You could test both.
Yours

Giuseppe

Dear Vikas
You can also use the ab-initio implementation of vdW forces by switching on

I don't remember. You can always calculate it easily:
the ratio between C6 (or R0) of Cacbon in mm_dispersion.f90 and in
dft-d3 code will give you an idea how to convert them.

Dear Duy, All,
I have converted the R0 from the dftd3.f code to QE code (from Angs to Bohr
with 1.1 further scaling factor). However, I dont know what is the scaling
factor that is used for C6 in mm_dispersion.f90. Any insight will be highly
appreciated.

[Pw_forum] init_london Error

2011-06-21 Thread Duy Le
Dear Vikas,
One simplest thing you can do is to read the DFT-D2 part of DFT-D3
code provided by Grimme's group (http://toc.uni-muenster.de/DFTD3/)
You will be able to find all necessary coefficients for all atoms with
Z<=86. Then you have to add them to mm_dispersion.f90. Recompile QE,
then you are good to go.

[Pw_forum] init_london Error

2011-06-21 Thread Vikas Varshney
Dear All,

I am trying to relax my WS2 unit cell structure using vc-relax (using PBE
pps) and I want to include disperson corrections to it. So, I tried using
the london flag = .true. However, on starting my job I got an error

 %%
 from  init_london  : error # 1
 atom W   not found
 %%

After going through mm_dispersion.f90, I found that the vdw_radius and c_6
parameters are given for first 54 atoms only (which corresponds to first 5
periods of periodic table). Tungsten (W), with atomic number of 74 is in 6th
period.

I emailed Prof. Stefan Grimme (author of the references that are mentioned
in mm_dispersion.f90) if anything was further pursued. He replied mentioning
that they have approached this problem further and referred me to his
website,

http://toc.uni-muenster.de/DFTD3/

and told me that this has already been implemented into major QM codes.

Mentioning that, I have few questions.
1. I wanted to ask if QE has incorporated the additions DFT-D, recently.
2. Are there any other ways to incorporate dispersion interactions in
calculations in DFT.

Currently, I am running my simulations on 4.2 version of the code that I
downloaded few months ago. I would high appreciate your insights in how
should I go about solving this problem regarding dispersion interactions in
Tungsten.

Looking forward for a positive reply.
