Abstract
For pt.I see ibid., vol.20, p.5635, (1987). This is the second of three papers in which the authors discuss the applicability of series methods to interface wetting and layering transitions. Here they study the behaviour of a solid-on-solid interface, which is attracted to a surface by a local pinning potential. They find that, both for the standard and the restricted solid-on-solid models, the interface depins from the surface through an infinite sequence of layering transitions as the potential tends to zero. The applicability of the results to previous work on the Abraham model in three dimensions is discussed.
