Anisotropic Heisenberg Model in Thin Film Geometry    [PDF]

Ümit Ak\incı

The effect of the anisotropy in the exchange interaction on the phase diagrams and magnetization behavior of the Heisenberg thin film has been investigated with effective field formulation in a two spin cluster using the decoupling approximation. Phase diagrams and magnetization behaviors have been obtained for several different cases, by grouping the systems in accordance with, whether the surfaces/interior of the film have anisotropic exchange interaction or not. Particular attention has been paid on the evolution of the special point coordinate with the anisotropy in the exchange interaction. It has been concluded that for increasing ratio of the anisotropies in the exchange interaction between the surface and interior of the film, special point disappears at a special value of this ratio.
