The differences in the vdW atomic forces are examined in terms of their magnitude and direction, treated as two distinct yet interrelated driving factors in MD simulations. The results are presented in Fig. ) as a radial plot illustrating the difference in forces of D4 and XDM with respect to MBD. In this plot, the angular part represents the arccosine between the dot product of two force vectors, while the radius is the difference in force magnitudes, scaled by the MBD force. This analysis focuses on 9/19 the differences observed per atom type, with the results for N, O, Cl, and S atoms shown in Fig. ) (see other atom types in Fig. of the SI).
