Dear Paolo
Thanks!

The stress for noncolinear magnetism + nonlocal functionals, XDM,
Tkatchenko-Scheffler is not implemented. I don't think LSDA + XDM or
Tkatchenko-Scheffler is implemented. For LSDA + nonlocal functionals there
is a preprocessing option (-D__SPIN_BALANCED) that may or may not work. All
the rest should work. Beware: no guarantee that unimplemented cases are
flagged as such. Please report if something fails silently.

I need to study only closed shell systems. This should make things simpler

See the header of phonon.f90 (if you find it confusing: so do I). Only
nonlocal functionals and DFT-D2 are implemented in the phonon code.

Thus it should be possible that a given closed shell organic crystal can be optimized (pw.x with 'vc-relax') by using rVV10 or c09-vdwdf (nonlocal vdw functionals), and then IR spectra calculated (like in example 15) using either PAW-US or NC functionals...?

Best
Giuseppe

I'm going to calculate IR spectra of some small organic crystals, and
I need to ask three questions on setups:

1) Is there any limitation on vdw_corr schemes in vc-relax calculations?

2) Is there any limitation on vdw_corr schemes used in pw.x in the  case of
a subsequent use with ph.x?



3) is the use of EXX functionals also implemented in ph.x?
