Abstract:Fixed vacancies (non-magnetic impurities) are placed along the centre of Ising strips in order to study the wetting behaviour in this confined system, by means of numerical simulations analysed with the aid of finite size scaling and thermodynamic integration methods. By considering strips of size () where short-range competitive surface fields () act along the M-direction, we observe localization–delocalization transitions of the interface between magnetic domains of different orientation (driven by the corr… Show more
