摘要：

It is shown that in the metastable region of a first-order wetting transition critical droplets occur which sit on the wall of the system. Under general conditions the critical droplet has a single unstable growth mode but its shape is stable with respect to all other fluctuations. These properties can be derived analytically for a simple model system with a one-dimensional wall.
