Derivation of the Casimir contribution to the binding potential for 3D wetting

The renormalisation group theory of critical and tri-critical wetting transitions in three-dimensional systems with short-ranged forces, based on analysis of an effective Hamiltonian with an interfacial binding potential (Formula presented.), predicts very strong non-universal critical singularities...
