Possibility of Surface Magnetic Order Above the Bulk Ordering Temperature: A Response to a Comment by Sukiennicki and Wojtczak

We point out an error in the argument advanced recently by Sukiennicki and Wojtczak which suggests that the molecular-field theory applied to a magnetic film gives no ordered state above the bulk ordering temperature, no matter what the value of the surface exchange. When the surface exchange $J_s$ is considerably larger than the bulk exchange constant $J$, we discuss the properties of the ordered suface state predicted by molecular-field theory.
