Thin Ferromagnetic Films

Abstract
The spontaneous magnetization of thin films of ferromagnetic materials has been studied by means of spin-wave theory. Results have been obtained for the magnetization as a function of temperature and film thickness for body-centered and face-centered cubic materials, generalizing earlier calculations by Klein and Smith. The approximations in the theory are critically discussed, and the relevant experimental material is briefly reviewed.
