| dc.description | We study the vicinal surface with adsorption below the roughening temperature, using the restricted solid-on-solid model coupled with the Ising model. We calculate the step tension $γ$ and the step-interaction coefficient $B$ by employing a variant of the density matrix algorithm. We find a ``stiffening transition'' at a temperature $T_{\rm s}$ where $B$ vanishes. At $T_{\rm s}$ surface free energy has the form $f(p)- f(0)= γp + ({const.})p^5 + ...$ ($p$: surface gradient), which differs from the well-known $p$-$p^3$ form. | |
