UNBINDING OF SURFACE DEFECTS UNDER THE DEFECT-SELECTIVE ADSORPTION

Unbinding of surface topological defects in the presence of the defect-selective adsorption is investigated using a coupled Coulomb Gas - Lattice Gas model. The unbinding temperature increases with the increasing selectivity (and coverage) for both, sign-dependent and sign-independent adsorption. In...
