VDW_S6 = [real] 

Description: VDW_S6 sets a parameter in the damping function of van der Waals methods.


VDW_S6 allows to set the value of a parameter in the following methods:

Mind: The setting of [math]\displaystyle{ s_{6} }[/math] with VDW_S6 when IVDW=11 or 12 (VASP implementation of DFT-D3) is possible since VASP.6.6.0.
