Example: Density-Dependent Dispersion Correction (dDsC): CH4-dimer

Download methane_dimer_dispersion.run

#! /bin/sh

# The density-dependent dispersion energy correction, dDsC, by S.N. Steinmann
# and C. Corminboeuf, is used to calculate interactions between non-overlapping
# densities, which standard density functional approximations cannot accurately
# describe. The example is for the methane dimer.

# The 'debug dispersion' is included such that in the output one can find more
# details on the exact parameters that are used.
