  • Critical wetting is of crucial importance for the phase behaviour of a simple fluid or Ising magnet confined between walls that exert opposing surface fields so that one wall favours liquid (spin up), while the other favours gas (spin down). We show that arrays of boxes filled with fluid or Ising magnet and linked by channels with such ``opposing'' walls can exhibit long-range cooperative effects, on a length scale far exceeding the bulk correlation length. We give the theoretical foundations of these long-range couplings by using a lattice gas (Ising model) description of a system.
