Abstract

We calculate for the two-dimensional Ising model at arbitrary temperature T the exact equilibrium shape of a large "crystal" of one phase (up) embedded in the other (down). Low-temperature properties of the interfacial free energy for an interface of arbitrary orientation are also discussed.
