Crystalline Interface Motion in Blume-Emery-Griffiths Model: Partial Wetting

This paper extends previous work on the Blume-Emery-Griffiths model to the regime of partial wetting, providing a discrete-to-continuum variational description of partially wetted crystalline interfaces. It bridges the gap between microscopic lattice models and observed surfactant-induced pinning phenomena, offering insights into the complex interplay between interfacial motion and surfactant redistribution.
