IVDW_NL

IVDW_NL = [integer]
Default: IVDW_NL = 1 for a GGA or 2 for a METAGGA

Description: IVDW_NL=1 or 2 allows to select the type of flavor of nonlocal van der Waals functional (available as of VASP.6.4.0).

For LDA and GGA functionals (GGA tag), a variant of the vdW-DF functional of Langreth and Lundqvist et al. is used, whereas for the meta-GGA functionals (METAGGA tag), the rVV10 functional is selected. See nonlocal vdW-DF functionals for more details.
