A. Benyoussef et al., MAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF THE 3-DIMENSIONAL ISING-MODEL WITH INTERFACE SINGLE-ION-ANISOTROPY, Physica scripta. T, 51(3), 1995, pp. 304-309
Within the framework of effective-field theory, we investigate the eff
ects of an interface single-ion anisotropy on the magnetic properties
in the simple cubic spin-1/2 Ising model. We find a new tricritical be
havior of the interface magnetization depending on the strength of the
ferromagnetic perpendicular exchange interaction between the spins at
the interface and their neighbors in the next layers in the right and
left sides. The magnetic behavior of an interface coupled antiferroma
gnetically to the two sides is also examined.
