Abstract
Droplets on a wall and droplets around a nucleus in the center of the lattice are studied in the two-dimensional Ising and three-state Potts models using Monte Carlo techniques. Finite-size effects are discussed by applying a scaling argument and by relating the shape of a droplet to a random walk.
