KLS Driven Lattice Gas

The Katz-Lebowitz-Spohn (KLS) model is a driven Ising lattice gas with an external field E along one direction. Particles hop preferentially in the field direction. Above a critical temperature, phase separation into high- and low-density stripes oriented parallel to the field occurs — a nonequilibrium phase transition with no equilibrium analog.
