Ising thin films with modulations and surface defects

Abstract

Properties of magnetic films are studied in the framework of Ising models. In particular, we discuss critical phenomena of ferromagnetic Ising films with straight lines of magnetic adatoms and straight steps on the surface as well as phase diagrams of the axial next-nearest neighbour Ising (ANNNI) model for thin films exhibiting various spatially modulated phases.
