LSPIN_VDW = [logical]
Default: LSPIN_VDW = .FALSE. 

Description: LSPIN_VDW=.TRUE. switches on the use of the spin-polarized formulation[1] for the nonlocal part of a van der Waals functional (available as of VASP.6.4.0).



Mind: LSPIN_VDW=.TRUE. is possible only for van der Waals functionals that consist of a GGA for the semilocal part and the kernel type of Dion et al.[2] (IVDW_NL=1) for the nonlocal part.
