An exact solution for two dimensional wetting with a corrugated wall

Soft Condensed Matter 2009-10-30 v1 Statistical Mechanics

Abstract

An exact solution of a two dimensional RSOS model of wetting at a corrugated (periodic) wall is found using transfer matrix techniques. In contrast to mean-field analysis of the same problem the wetting transition remains second-order and occurs at a lower temperature than that of the planar system. Comparison with numerical studies and other analytical approaches is made.
