The Interactions

  Figure 3-9 shows the basic interactions

Figure 3-9: The basic long-range interactions acting in the direction of tex2html_wrap_inline13709 . Particles at sites R lattice units apart are flipped from the solid link directions to the dashed directions provided there is initially a particle in both the solid links and no particles in either of the dashed links.

acting along the tex2html_wrap_inline13709 direction on two sites a distance R apart. The interaction can take place only if there are particles travelling in both the directions indicated by the solid arrows and if there are no particles travelling in the direction of either of the dashed arrows. If this is the case the particles are flipped from the solid link to the dashed link. These five basic interactions are also applied along the tex2html_wrap_inline13813 and tex2html_wrap_inline13815 directions.
