Phase diagrams of thin classical n-vector films

Description

The Curie temperature Tc of a classical n-vector ferromagnetic thin film was theoretically investigated in the framework of an effective-field theory. The effect of surface interaction and of film thickness l on the critical temperature was carefully investigated in the case of simple cubic films
