  Antiferromagnetically coupled Ising s =3 spins on a triangular lattice are
very close to ordering at zero temperature. The low temperature behaviour of a
triangular lattice with Ising spins s =3 has been simulated by using both
Glauber and Kawasaki dynamics. The formation of misfit clusters, which are
essential for destabilizing the ordered state, are inhibited by the use of
Kawasaki dynamics. The sublattice susceptibilities and the sublattice order
parameter are found to depend qualitatively on the dynamics used so that robust
ordering occurs when Kawasaki dynamics are employed. The thermal behaviour that
is found for the spin model with Kawasaki dynamics gives insight into the
observed ordering of side chains seen in a tetraphilic liquid crystal.
