<br>
<br>1) Use 0.5*Cell_size unless you have very large cells.
<br>2) vdW pair potentials can correctly use multiple cells.
<br> There is no problem in having a cutoff >> Cell_size.
<br> The long range correction should only be used for nearly isotropic systems.
<br>3) vdW non_local calculates the interaction potential using FFTs,
<br> including long range corrections.
