Abstract
We study the reorientation transition in a thin ferromagnetic film bet ween a perpendicularly magnetized state and an in-plane magnetized one , at the growing of the temperature T and the number of planes N. In t he framework of a renormalization group approach, we find the boundari es between the three (perpendicularly magnetized, in-plane magnetized, paramagnetic) regions. A maximum in the reorientation temperature T-R (N) is predicted.
