Abstract
Using mean-field theory, the finite-cluster approximation, and the real-space renormalization group, we study the spin-1/2 Ising model on a cubic lattice with a defect plane that divides the system into two semi-infinite ones. The phase diagrams, which represent the connection between defect-plane order and wetting phenomena, are given in the case of two equivalent semi-infinite systems (the same coupling) and in the case of different semi-infinite systems. These phase diagrams are in agreement with those conjectured qualitatively by Igloi and Indekeu.
