<strong>Glauber</strong> <strong>dynamics</strong><br />

• P (Si → Sj) = e −Ej/kT /(e −Ej/kT + e −Ei/kT )<br />

= 1/(1 + e ∆Eji/kT )<br />

• Choose a spin a random.<br />

• Calculate <strong>the</strong> energy difference resulting if that spin were<br />

flipped: ∆E.<br />

• Transition probability: P (flip) = 1/(1 + e ∆E/kT ).<br />

• Generate a random number, X. If X < P (flip) accept.<br />

• Parameterize time such that one unit of time is N spin-flip<br />

attempts.
