Nonclassical wetting behavior in the solid-on-solid limit of the three-dimensional Ising model

1990 
Critical and complete wetting transitions are studied in the solid-on-solid limit of the threedimensional Ising model. The surface order parameter and coverage are calculated using Monte Carlo methods for various T > TR (the roughening temperature). The critical behavior is found to be universal but consistent with renormalization-group predictions. We predict that for Tm: (i) the parameter (o^ in the Ising model; this is much less than the previous estimate @^I; (ii) the length scale in the effective interface potential is about twice as large as the Ising bulk correlation length.
