Wetting transition in the McCoy-Wu model

Statistical Mechanics 2020-07-15 v2

Abstract

The wetting transition is studied in the McCoy-Wu Ising model in which the random bonds are perfectly correlated in the direction parallel to the walls . The model is solved numerically on finite size lattices up to 200×2002200 \times 200^2. It is shown that the wetting transition is first-order. For a fixed surface field, the distribution of wetting transition temperature is obtained from 10001000 samples. The results show that the deviation of the wetting transition temperature does not decreases as the lattice size increases. It is shown that for a fixed surface field the wetting transition temperature is sample dependent even in the thermodynamic limit.
