TL;DR: There are two different types of fluctuations, namely, capillary waves and critical fluctuations within the surface layer, which are shown to be governed by two different length scales.
Abstract: Interface depinning transitions such as wetting are described where the surface layer becomes critical as the interface unbinds from the wall. As a consequence, there are two different types of fluctuations, namely, capillary waves and critical fluctuations within the surface layer, which are shown to be governed by two different length scales.
