VDW_RADIUS = [real] 

Default: VDW_RADIUS = 50 if IVDW=1, 2, 3, 4, or 21
= 50.20 if IVDW=11, 12, or 15
= 31.75 if IVDW=13

Description: VDW_RADIUS (in Å) sets the two-body interaction cutoff in van der Waals methods.


VDW_RADIUS (in Å) allows to set the two-body interaction cutoff for the DFT-D2, DFT-D3 (DFT-D3 and simple-DFT-D3 implementations), DFT-D4, DFT-ulg, DDsC, and Tkatchenko-Scheffler methods.

Mind: Available for the DFT-D4 and simple-DFT-D3 packages since VASP.6.6.0.
