VDW_S8 = [real] 

Default: VDW_S8 = 1.0 for DFT-D3

Description: VDW_S8 defines the damping function parameter [math]\displaystyle{ s_{8} }[/math].


VDW_S8 sets the damping function parameter [math]\displaystyle{ s_{8} }[/math] in the DFT-D3 and DFT-D4 methods.

Description: VDW_S8 sets the scaling [math]\displaystyle{ s_{8} }[/math] of the dipole-quadrupole dispersion of the DFT-D3 and DFT-D4 methods.


VDW_S8 allows to set the scaling [math]\displaystyle{ s_{8} }[/math] of the dipole-quadrupole dispersion of the DFT-D3 and DFT-D4 (IVDW=13) methods. VDW_S8 can be used for both implementations of DFT-D3: DFT-D3 (IVDW=11 or 12) and simple-DFT-D3 (IVDW=15).
