grimmedisp
This option defines how to apply Grimme dispersion correction version 3, i.e. DFT-D3.
When there is no grimmedisp
in the input file, no DFT-D3 will be applied.

Value
bj
Becke-Johnson DFT-D3 formzero
Zero-damp DFT-D3 formDefault
None
Define form of DFT-D3. There is no default value and you must assign
bj
orzero
.In most cases,
bj
is better, but for some functionals, like M06, M062X, and M06HF, onlyzero
is available.
- three_body
Add three body corrections in DFT-D3. This is useful for large systems.
- tz
If triple zeta basis sets are used, this keyword may bring some improvement.
