Dear paulatto

Thanks a lot because of your attention.
I want to put graphene on substrate so I think that the van der waals
force becomes important for this case (isn't correct?). By the way I have
read the paper of M.Lazzeri & et al(Phys. Rev. B 78,
081406(R) (2008)) & I know the problem of  LDA & GGA
approximations(for graphene & graphite), so if  there is any way to correct 
them please aware
me.

Well, I have to explain more about my
first question. please assume that we have two layers of graphene.
First the distance between them is 3 a.u & then it has been
changed to 10 a.u. What will happen for hartree(Uee) term in
calculations, Do you expect that it will increase or decrease?

Best Regards
