“The sampling works for distances greater than 7 angstroms, and hence the
definition of transition coordinates must be right.”
I don’t agree with this statement. I don’t think your transition coordinate
is defined how you are expecting.
Do you have multiple layers of graphene? If the transition coordinate is
the center of mass of multiple layers, then you will not be able to
approach closely.
What does system look like when the transition coordinate is at its
smallest value?
