  • Analyzing the resulting spin cluster site distributions.

    • Main Results:

    • Two distinct regimes of spin cluster site distributions were identified.
    • A borderline "spin flip" probability, q(c), was determined, dependent on interaction potential strength (J).
    • The findings indicate a phase transition-like behavior in the deposition process.

    Conclusions:

    • The "spin flip" probability significantly influences granular pile formation.
    • The identified critical threshold q(c) suggests a transition in the system's behavior.
    • This research provides insights into the fundamental mechanisms governing self-organized structures in granular materials.
