Free movement probability

When /(AB) = 1, and all adjacent j cells to the occupant are empty, the probability of moving in any direction is 0.25 of its free movement probability. This reduced joining parameter agrees with the intuitively reasonable assumption that any occupant should not be biased on any direction (unless gravity is considered). 

The first rule to choose is the probability that each ingredient will move, the free-moving probability Tm. In this study we shall choose Pm = 1-0, so that the ingredients move during every iteration for which movement is possible. The reader can experiment with this rule by selecting different values, as explained in Chapter 10. 

Mercury is not a typical electrode material it is liquid, and there is constant movement of atoms on the surface in contact with solution. A solid electrode has a well-defined structure, probably polycrystalline and in some cases monocrystalline. In a solid metallic electrode conduction is predominantly electronic owing to the free movement of valence electrons, the energy of the electrons that traverse the interface being that of the Fermi level, EF (Section 3.6), giving rise to effects from the electronic distribution of the atoms in the metallic lattice already mentioned. 

If one considers an elementary model of a metal consisting of a latlice of fixed positive ions immersed in a sea of conduction electrons that are free to move through the lattice, every direction of electron motion will be equally probable. Since the electrons fill the available quantized energy states staring with the lowest, a three-dimensional picture in momentum coordinates will show a spherical distribution of electron momenta and, hence, will yield a spherical Fermi surface. In this model, no account has been taken of the interaction between Ihe fixed posilive ions and the electrons. The only restriction on the movement or "freedom" of the electrons is the physical confines of the metal itself.
