Abstract
We have studied the interface between regions of opposite spin in the simple cubic Ising model. Low-temperature expansions of moments of the gradient of the density profile and of the slope at its midpoint suggest that the interface width diverges at a temperature about half the critical temperature. We discuss the physical significance of this transition and implications for general theories of interfacial properties.
