DFT-D4 is an external package maintained by the Grimme group that can be linked to VASP). Read the documentation for more information about this package.

Usage

In general, VASP passes the used exchange-correlation functional to DFT-D4. DFT-D4 decides on the optimal choice of parameters for the specific functional. Typically, you do not need to modify the parameters of the interaction. If you want to or if DFT-D4 does not implement specific parameters for the functional, set the following parameters in the INCAR file
