LSPIN_VDW

LSPIN_VDW = [logical]
Default: LSPIN_VDW = .FALSE.

Description: LSPIN_VDW=.TRUE. switches on the use of the spin-polarized formulation for the nonlocal part of a van der Waals functional (available as of VASP.6.4.0).

Mind: is possible only for van der Waals functionals that consist of a for the semilocal part and the kernel type of Dion et al.^[1]for the nonlocal part.
