Contrary to common believe, for eight adsorption cases, neither D3 or TS are an improvement compared to D2 nor van der Waals functionals or dDsC. Only the many body approaches are slightly better than D2(Ne) which uses Ne parameters for Mg2+ ions.

We present the first valence band photoemission study of a monolayer K x C 60 on a clean Si(001)-(2 × 1) surface. The monolayer C60 which shows weak interaction with the silicon surface reveals clear, but broadened, structures corresponding to bulk C 60. Upon K exposure, the work function drops rapidly due to charge polarization toward the Si surface, considerably affecting then the rate of the Lumo filling. Its centroid initially shown at 0.6 eV shifts to higher binding energy with higher concentration. Moreover, the LUMO always separates 1.5 ± 0.1 eV from the Homo. Features associated with the many-body effect do not appear in the spectra. The Fermi cutoff has never been observed, indicating the insulating nature of the K x C 60 surface.

Seven methods, including three van der Waals density functionals (vdW-DFs) and four different variants of the Tkatchenko-Scheffler (TS) methods, are tested on the A24, L7, and Taylor <i>et al.</i>'s "blind" test sets. It is found that for these systems, the vdW-DFs perform better that the TS methods. In particular, the vdW-DF-cx functional gives binding energies that are the closest to the reference values, while the many body correction of TS does not always lead to an improvement in the description of molecular systems. In light of these results, several directions for further improvements to describe van der Waals interactions are discussed.<br><br>Published as <i>J. Chem. Phys.</i> <b>148</b>, 064112 (2018)<br>

Abstract By introducing a suitable range-separation of the Coulomb coupling in analogy to [A. Ambrosetti et al. JCP 140, 18A508 (2014)], here we extend the Many-Body Dispersion (MBD) approach to include beyond-dipole van der Waals interactions at a full many-body level, in combination with semi-local density functional theory. A reciprocal-space implementation is further introduced in order to efficiently treat periodic systems. Consistent reliability is found frommolecular dimers to large supramolecular complexes and two-dimensional systems. The large weight of both many-body effects and multipolar terms illustrates how a correct description of vdW forces in large-scale systems requires full account of both contributions, beyond standard pairwise dipolar approaches.

We propose a new strategy to solve the Tkatchenko-Scheffler Many-Body Dispersion (MBD) model’s equations. Our approach overcomes the original O(N**3) computational complexity that limits its applicability to large molecular systems within thecontext of O(N) Density Functional Theory (DFT). First, in order to generate the required frequency-dependent screenedpolarizabilities, we introduce an efficient solution to the Dyson-like self-consistent screening equations. The scheme reducesthe number of variables and, coupled to a DIIS extrapolation, exhibits linear-scaling performances. Second, we apply astochastic Lanczos trace estimator resolution to the equations evaluating the many-body interaction energy of coupled quantumharmonic oscillators. While scaling linearly, it also enables communication-free pleasingly-parallel implementations. As the resulting O(N) stochastic massively parallel MBD approach is found to exhibit minimal memory requirements, it opens up the possibility of computing accurate many-body van der Waals interactions of millions-atoms’ complex materials and solvated biosystems with computational times in the range of minutes.
