Abstract

Using the effective field theory with a probability distribution technique that accounts for the self-spin correlation functions, the phase transitions in the semi-infinite anisotropic spin-1/2 Heisenberg ferromagnet on a simple cubic lattice are examined. For fixed values of the reduced exchange anisotropic parameter, the critical temperature of the system is studied as a function of the ratio R of the surface exchange couplings to the bulk ones. It was found that if R ≤ Rc, the system orders at the bulk critical temperature TcB/J and if R ≥ RC) the system exhibits two successive transitions. The surface orders at the surface critical temperature TcS/J which is higher than TcB/J and as the temperature is lowered, in the presence of an ordered surface, the bulk orders at TcB/J. © 1999 The Physical Society of the Republic of China.
