Abstract: The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of the liquid. This problem, also known as the liquid-drop problem, was studied by Modica in [21], and in a different form by Alberti, Bouchitte, and Seppecher in [2] for a first-order perturbation model. This work shows that using a second-order perturbation Cahn-Hilliard-type model, the boundary layer is intrinsically connected with the transition layer in the interior of the domain. Precisely, considering the energies ${\displaystyle }$ mathcal{F}_{varepsilon}(u) := varepsilon^{3} int_{Omega} |D^{2}u|^{2} + frac{1}{varepsilon} int_{Omega} W (u) + lambda_{varepsilon} int_{partial Omega} V(Tu), ${\displaystyle }$ where $u$ is a scalar density function and $W$ and $V$ are double-well potentials, the exact scaling law is identified in the critical regime, when $varepsilonlambd{a}_{varepsilon}^{2/3}sim1$.
