Abstract

Semi-infinite systems which undergo a first-order bulk transition are considered. A new type of surface phase transition is predicted which has two unexpected features: (1) It exhibits some universal properties since a variety of surface exponents can be defined although there are no bulk exponents; (2) a layer of the disordered phase appears between the free surface and the ordered bulk. The interface between the disordered and the ordered phases becomes delocalized as in the wetting and in the pinning transition.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
