[Pw_forum] SCAN functional

[Neven Golenić]

Hello,

I was wondering if there were any plans on implementing the SCAN functional
in future versions of QE?

It appears to be a very good meta-GGA functional that yields surprisingly
accurate results, especially for non-covalentnly bound structures and is
therefore quite useful for calculations of supramolecular complexes.

Here is a link to the publication:
http://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.115.036402


The benefits of this functional were also highlighted in Nature Chemistry:
