[Viswanadham Sridhara]

Hi again,
Is < |M| >\S2\N intentionally made equal to < |M|\S2\N > for t=0? I ask this
question because, the difference of these two terms is almost zero in every
calculation. I am not able to understand exactly how each term is
calculated, I understand how epsilon, kirkwood factor, moments in each
direction and total moment are calculated, but I dont exactly understand how
these fluctuations are calculated.......
Hope someone clarifies to me briefly how they are calculated at t =0 and for
t = 0 + of the simulation.
Thanks in advance,
Viswam.
