Dear all,
I was asked to take into considerations of vdW interactions and HSE type hybrid 
functionals in my calculations. My system involves adsorption of 
atoms/molecules on 2D monolayer with embedded 3d Mn atom. It was run using 
DFT+U. Please I want to know if DFT+U and vdW interactions have been 
implemented in the QE version and how to include vdW interactions in my 
calculation.  Additionally, the embedded Mn 2D monolayer is semiconducting with 
ferromagnetic ground state, I was also asked to use HSE type calculations for 
the band gap correction. I want you to please advice me on how to implement HSE 
type calculations and DFT+U on my system. specifically the input flags required 
for the calculations in both cases. Please find below the input details. Thank 
you
