We solve exactly a Terrace-Ledge-Kink (TLK) model describing a crystal
surface at a microscopic level. We show that there is a faceting transition
driven either by temperature or by the chemical potential that controls the
slope of the surface. In the rough phase we investigate thermal fluctuations of
the surface using Conformal Field Theory.
