摘要
The standard wetting transition consists of the transformation of a microscopically thin two-dimensional interface into a macroscopically thick structure composed of two interfaces separated by a bulk phase. We consider the one-dimensional analog of this phenomenon, when a contact line among three or more phases decomposes into two contact lines separated by an interface. We uncover a wetting transition for the contact line, which occurs at surface two-phase coexistence, as a function of a line or edge field. This is exemplified by means of a lattice mean-field calculation for an Ising model bounded by two surfaces that meet in an edge.
