Abstract

The net adsorption,W, of non-boundary states at interfaces in two-dimensional Potts models is studied using Monte Carlo techniques. For the three-and four-state Potts model the net adsorption is found to diverge when the critical point is approached asW∼t−ω, wheret=(Tc-T)/T. Finite-size effects have been also studied; for anN x N lattice the net adsorption at the bulk critical temperature behaves asWc∼Na. The numerical results for the exponents ω anda are consistent with a scaling argument that yields ω=ν-β anda=1-(β/ν).
