Abstract:

We present a new method for the numerical calculation of the equilibrium crystal shape around a facet. Our method is based on the transfer matrix method with the product-wave-function renormalization group (PWFRG) algorithm for the asymmetric density matrix, which is an extension of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) algorithm. By applying this method to the staggered body-centered-cubic solid-on-solid model, which is known to exhibit the inverse roughening phenomena, we obtain the facet shape, shape exponents, and step tension.
