Implementation and Assessment of a Simple Nonlocal van der Waals Density Functional

Recently we developed a nonlocal van der Waals density functional (VV09) that has a simple and well-behaved analytic form. In this article, we report a self-consistent implementation of VV09 with an atom-centered basis set. We compute binding energies for a diverse benchmark set and find that VV09 p...
