DFT-D2 parameters for tungsten

[ashish dabral]

Thanks for your reply Andreas.

I know D3 parameters are more reliable and would like to use them. I used 
the D2 keyword as mentioned in my post to do simulations for 
oxygen on substrate and it worked. Same with Nickel, but with tungsten it 
throws an error that the parameters are not found. I assume the 
parameters are defined in the package and in case of tungsten they are not 
found. 

Are D3 parameters also defined in the package? Some posts say that they are 
not and in that case I will need an external file.

I just wanted to test a couple of things and would move to D3 when more 
reliability is required and I have the D3 parameters.
