LIBMBD_R0AU

LIBMBD_R0AU = [real array]

Description: LIBMBD_R0AU defines the free-atom $C_{6}$ parameters ( $\mathrm {Hartree}$ $\mathrm {bohr} ^{6}$ ) used in the Tkatchenko-Scheffler and Many-body dispersion energy methods as implemented in the library libMBD of many-body dispersion methods^[1]^[2]^[3].

LIBMBD_R0AU allows to set values for the free-atom $C_{6}$ parameters ( $\mathrm {Hartree}$ $\mathrm {bohr} ^{6}$ ) used in the Tkatchenko-Scheffler and Many-body dispersion energy methods as implemented in the library libMBD of many-body dispersion methods^[1]^[2]^[3]. For each atom listed in the POSCAR file, a value has to be provided. The values are internally passed to the second column of the libMBD input free_values described at the page ^[4].

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^[2] and compiled before VASP is compiled with the corresponding precompiler options and links to the libraries.
