Journal ArticleDOI

Van der Waals Density Functional for General Geometries

TL;DR: The proposed functional, which includes van der Waals forces in a seamless fashion, is applied to rare gas and benzene dimers, where it is shown to give a realistic description.
Journal ArticleDOI

Van der Waals density functional for layered structures.

TL;DR: These key examples show that the DFT with the generalized-gradient approximation does not apply for calculating properties of sparse matter, while use of the fully nonlocal version appears to be one way to proceed.
Journal ArticleDOI

van der Waals forces in density functional theory: a review of the vdW-DF method

TL;DR: A density functional theory that accounts for van der Waals interactions in condensed matter, materials physics, chemistry, and biology is reviewed and the value of the vdW-DF method as a general-purpose method, not only for dispersion bound systems, but also in densely packed systems where these types of interactions are traditionally thought to be negligible.
Journal ArticleDOI

van der Waals forces in density functional theory: The vdW-DF method

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of van der Waals interactions in condensed matter, materials physics, chemistry, and biology can be found in this article, highlighting the importance of including dispersion interactions in density functional theory.
Journal ArticleDOI

A density functional for sparse matter

TL;DR: Comparison with results from wavefunction calculations for the smaller systems and with experimental data for the extended ones show the vdW-DF path to be promising, and this could have great ramifications for dense matter.
