Abstract

Results are reported for the surface tension, the surface free energy, the surface stiffness coefficient, and the single-step free energy for the Ising model in two and three dimensions. These are obtained by numerical transfer-matrix calculations, testing detailed predictions for the scaling of the largest eigenvalues of the transfer-matrix.
