Abstract

We review the thermodynamic and structural behaviour of interfaces between two coexisting phases in 3d. In particular we look at (i) surface and interfacial phase transitions (including critical phenomena) and (ii) systems in confined geometry.

These concepts are illustrated using results for the surface phase diagram of systems with orientational degrees of freedom which were obtained using a variety of theoretical methods: mean-field, cluster variational and Monte Carlo computer simulation.
