Abstract
This paper provides a brief discussion of some current experimental work on phase transitions at free surfaces. Examples are used to illustrate work in the areas of surface reconstruction, roughening, atomic step coalescence, and transformations of adsorbed and segregated layers. All of these surface phenomena are likely to have counterparts at internal boundaries.
