Contribution

It provides a comparative analysis of wetting and layering transitions in Ising systems with different surface geometries using mean field theory.

Findings

Surface geometry affects wetting and layering transitions.

Temperature and transverse field influence transition behavior.

Phase diagrams reveal differences between perfect and corrugated surfaces.

Abstract

Using the mean field theory, a comparative study of the wetting and layering transitions of a spin-1/2 Ising model with perfect and corrugated surfaces, is established. The phase diagrams are investigated and compared in the presence of both a longitudinal and surface fields. The effect of increasing the temperature and the transverse field on the wetting and layering transitions is outlined.
