Abstract
Interface properties, in particular the interface free energy and the interface profile of the three-state Potts model in two dimensions are studied using Monte Carlo techniques and a generalized version of the method of Müller-Hartmann and Zittartz. The role of the third state in characterizing the interface between the two other states is elucidated.
