+This cut-off function decreases smoothly from 1 to 0 over the range :math:[\delta_1, \delta_2]. 
+This smoothly turns off the energy and force contributions for :math:\lvert \delta \rvert > \delta_2. 
+It is suggested that :math:\delta_1 and :math:\delta_2 to be the value around 
+:math:0.5 \lvert \cos \theta_1 - \cos \theta_2 \rvert, with 
+:math:\theta_1 and :math:\theta_2 as the different types of angles around an atom. 
+For borophene and transition metal dichalcogenide, :math:\delta_1 = 0.25 and :math:\delta_2 = 0.35.
 This value enables the cut-off function to exclude unnecessary angles in the three-body SW terms.
