I am looking for DFT-D dispersion correction parameters (C6, r0) for heavy elements, Pb in particular. The tables published online all end at Xe. There are papers describing work with more heavy elements, but those do not give the actual parameters.
DFT-D for van der Waals interactions and also for the other elements "Effect of van der Waals interactions on the structural and elastic properties of black phosphorus"
the best functional DFT-D is G06 (GGA-PBE-Grimme) or GGA-PBE-TS
Thanks to everyone offering advice up to now. However, none of the source linked gives any of the actual dispersion correction parameters used. These papers evaluate DFT-D, list lots of calculated properties, and reference some other papers for the calculation details; these other papers in turn having either no or incomplete information about the actual parameters used.
In the meantime I found a list of C6 & r0 values up to Radon; it is stored in a file mm_dispersion.f90, which seems to be a module for Quantum Espresso, and can be found at many places of the web. These are DFT-D2 values, though, and are thus probably incompatible with values for the original DFT-D method. So, I am still looking.
Daniel, if you have an access to VASP code (5.3.5 version) you can find the C6
and R0 parameters in the file vdwforcefield.F defined in subroutine
vdw_forces_G. (Honestly,I don't remember if DFT-D or DFT-D2...).
As far as I know, in the original implementation, only parameters for the first 5 raws of periodic table were added (because only these parameters were published in Grimme's paper). This newest release also includes corrections for the 6th raw.
Giacomo, thanks for the advice, I found it. I have no access to VASP; I use CRYSTAL for my calculations. But I searched the web for the filename vdwforcefield.F and found a Chinese VASP-forum. There, someone had posted the relevant sections of the file. Curiously, the fileheader says "DFT-D2 method", but the values of the light elements are the same as for the original DFT-D. In case somebody else searching for these values happens upon this thread, I post the values here:
Parameters of vdW forcefield: C6(Jnm^6/mol), R0(A)
