The 

DFTD keyword specifies which semiempirical dispersion correction to use for the van der Waals
forces in a DMol3 calculation.

van der Waals forces are due to long-range correlation effects that are difficult to describe in the
framework of local or semilocal density functional theory. To deal with this problem semiempirically, a
number of dispersion corrections are available in DMol3
