Layering and wetting transitions for an SOS interface
arXiv:0908.0321
Abstract
We study the solid-on-solid interface model above a horizontal wall in three dimensional space, with an attractive interaction when the interface is in contact with the wall, at low temperatures. There is no bulk external field. The system presents a sequence of layering transitions, whose levels increase with the temperature, before reaching the wetting transition.
