摘要
We examine the effect of pseudopotentials (PPs) in the van der Waals density functional (vdW-DF) calculations on geometries, binding energies, and electronic structures. It turns out that the binding distance is slightly underestimated with PPs generated with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA), whereas the binding energy is overestimated compared with that obtained using vdW-DF PPs. On the other hand, the electronic structures obtained with vdW-DF are essentially the same as that with GGA regardless of PPs used. Our results validate previous non-self-consistent vdW-DF studies, which employ geometry optimized with vdW-DF, while the electronic structure is calculated with GGA.
