Abstract
The effect of magnetic fluctuations on the free energy, the order parameter profile and the latent heat at the equilibrium point of the first order phase transition to superconducting state in thin films of type I superconductors is considered. The possibility for an experimental observation of the fluctuation change of the order of the superconducting phase transition is briefly discussed. Numerical data for the order parameter jump and the latent heat of Al films are presented for needs of experimental studies.
