Statistical physics

a transition above which a crystal surface loses its flat facets and its height fluctuations diverge logarithmically with size.

In statistical physics, roughening transition refers to a transition above which a crystal surface loses its flat facets and its height fluctuations diverge logarithmically with size. This meaning comes from Chui (1976) in Physical Review B.[1]
