Abstract
The Wilson-Fisher expansion is used to calculate critical exponents to first order in for -dimensional classical spins on a semi-infinite lattice with surface exchange such that the extrapolation length is positive. It is found that to first order in , all surface exponents can be calculated from bulk exponents and a single surface exponent, , describing the rate at which bulk correlation functions are approached when all coordinates are far from the surface. The exponents and introduced by Binder and Hohenberg are, respectively, and . A form for the fixed-point spin correlation valid for all dimensions containing only the exponents and is proposed. With this form, all critical exponents for a semi-infinite system can be obtained from , , and if scaling is assumed.
