Simulation
R=1.0
The panel on the left displays the lattice, spins are colored blue when down
and colored green when up; clusters of spins flash red when they flip.
The panel on the right is a plot of magnetic field (horizontal) versus
magnetization (vertical.)
The applet will run the model to the maximum and minimum magnetic fields to
generate a hysteresis loop; after that, you can tell the applet to run the
model to a particular magnetic field by clicking on the control bar
underneath the plot.
At R=1.0 you will observe both very small and very large avalanches.
After the model has plotted a hysteresis loop, try running the model part
way and reversing it.
Go back to the model's home page to try a different
random field.
