Figure 5. Model for non-reciprocal motion.

Figure 5

(a) Internal angles given by the model as a function of the increasing or decreasing horizontal magnetic interaction (see arrows). Angles αi are colored after being sorted from the smallest to the largest. Two triangles are illustrated using the same color code in order to evidence the orientation of the structure at two specific situations: Inline graphic and ∇ states. (b) Sketch of the platy-isosceles (Inline graphic) configuration. Arrows indicate the horizontal components of the dipoles. Colors indicate whether a pair of dipoles attract or repel compared to zero horizontal field, which depends on their relative orientation. (c) Sketch of the lepto-isosceles (∇) configuration.
