  1. Summary of the binding energies, ratio for the many-body effect and vdW interaction in Ti2CF2 and NG systems
  2. RMBD (%) and RvdW (%) is the ratio for the many-body effect and vdW interaction of binding energies. ΔEMBD
  3. \((\Delta E_{{\mathrm{MBD}}} = E_{{\mathrm{AM}}}^{\mathrm{b}} - E_{{\mathrm{DME}}}^{\mathrm{b}})\) is the anchoring factor of high-order LiPSs from the PBE + MBD method
