Magnetic Phase Transitions in Ultrathin Films of Different Crystal Structures

Article Preview

Abstract:

The properties of ultrathin films have been studied within the framework of Ising model and the method of random-field interactions. It is shown that the Curie temperature is inversely proportional to the number of layers. Critical exponent has been obtained and it is shown that it does not depend on the type of crystalline lattice.
