Surface Critical Behavior of Binary Alloys and Antiferromagnets:   Dependence of the Universality Class on Surface Orientation
  The surface critical behavior of semi-infinite   (a) binary alloys with a continuous order-disorder transition and   (b) Ising antiferromagnets in the presence of a magnetic field is considered. In contrast to ferromagnets, the surface universality class of these systems depends on the orientation of the surface with respect to the crystal axes. There is ordinary and extraordinary surface critical behavior for orientations that preserve and break the two-sublattice symmetry, respectively. This is confirmed by transfer-matrix calculations for the two-dimensional antiferromagnet and other evidence.
