Abstract

We study the interfacial adsorption phenomena of the ferromagnetic five-state Potts model on the square lattice, whose transition is of weakly first-order, by using Monte Carlo simulations and finite-size scaling theory. It is shown that the net-adsorption has a finite-size effect according to the first-order phase transition even for systems much smaller than the bulk correlation length.
