Surface Criticality

Surface Criticality is a theoretical framework in statistical physics that characterizes the critical behavior of surface layers in systems undergoing second-order phase transitions, distinguished by its focus on the divergence of surface-specific correlation lengths and order parameter fluctuations at the bulk critical temperature.
