Using density functional theory (DFT) and density functional perturbation theory (DFPT), we investigate the stability and response functions of CsH 2 PO 4 , a ferroelectric material at low temperature. This material cannot be described properly by the usual (semi-)local approximations within DFT. The longrange e − -e − correlation needs to be properly taken into account, using, for instance, Grimme's DFT-D methods, as investigated in this work. We find that DFT-D3(BJ) performs the best for the members of the
