The units for simulations include an energy which is always rescaled by the typical fluctuation energy T, MCS for time and (lattice sites)1/3 for length. Hence, units for the diffusion coefficient DF are (lattice sites)2/3/MCS, for inverse compressibility (λc, λl, and λn) energy unit/(lattice sites)2, for decay and source time constants, 1/MCS, and, finally, for all surface energy terms J, energy unit/(lattice sites)2/3.
