Abstract
We study the non-equilibrium dynamics (purely dissipative and relaxational) in a semi-infinite system following a quench from the high temperature disordered phase to its critical temperature. We show that the local autocorrelation near the surface of a semi-infinite system decays algebraically in time with a new exponent which is different from the bulk. We calculate this new non-equilibrium surface exponent in several cases, both analytically and numerically.
