[Pw_forum] combining vdW-DF and hybrids?

[Jose C. Conesa]

Hi,
Thanks for the suggestion, but it does not help me. I'm not concerned 
only with molecules, but with oxide layer compounds and surfaces as 
well; and for these the standard Grimme's parameters are not adequate 
(see J Phys Chem C _114_(2010)22718). For this I should like to try 
hse06 and vdW-DF together, but it's not clear if Q-E allows it.
