Phys. Rev. E 60, 5163–5174 (1999)Critical adsorption near edgesReceived 14 June 1999; published in the issue dated November 1999 Symmetry breaking surface fields give rise to nontrivial and long-ranged order parameter profiles for critical systems such as fluids, alloys, or magnets confined to wedges. We discuss the properties of the corresponding universal scaling functions of the order parameter profile and the two-point correlation function, and determine the critical exponents η‖ and η⊥ for the so-called normal transition. © 1999 The American Physical Society URL:
