Versatile van der Waals Density Functional Based on a Meta-Generalized Gradient Approximation

A “best-of-both-worlds” van der Waals (vdW) density functional is constructed, seamlessly supplementing the strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) meta-generalized gradient approximation for short- and intermediate-range interactions with the long-range vdW interaction from rVV10, the...
