The effect of a random surface field, within the bimodal distribution, on the layering transitions in a spin-12 Ising … thin film is investigated using Monte Carlo simulations. It is found that the layering transitions depend strongly on the …

is studied using mean field theory and Monte Carlo simulations. On the one hand, the prewetting phenomena and layering … transitions occur at T=0 under the corrugation effect. Such result has not been obtained in the case of a perfect surface. On the …
