Order–disorder phase transitions in thin films described by transverse Ising model
Source abstract
Abstract
The order–disorder phase transition in thin films at finite temperature and zero temperature (quantum phase transition) is discussed within the transverse Ising model using molecular field approximation. Experimentally, it is shown that the Curie temperature T C of perovskite PbTiO 3 ultra-thin film decreases with decreasing film thickness. We obtain an equation for T C of thin film in external magnetic and transverse fields. Our equation explains well for the case of strong transverse strain field this behaviour.
