[Pw_forum] Is spin polarized vdW-DF implemented in QE 5.0?

[Giuseppe Mattioli]

Dear Sahar
vdwDF itself is not defined in a open shell framework (or I suppose so... You should read the 
references printed at standard output by pw.x when you enforce the vdwDF functional). If you need 
some dispersion correction and nspin=2, you may try with the semi-empirical DFTD2 approach 
(london=.true. in pw.x input).
