A Monte Carlo Study of Magnetic Order at Ferromagnetic and Antiferromagnetic Surfaces: Implications for Spin-Polarized Photoelectron Diffraction

Abstract

Presents results of Monte Carlo simulations on simple cubic Ising lattices with modified surface interaction parameters to model the temperature dependence of magnetic order near ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic surfaces. Discusses connection with previous experiments suggesting surface-specific mangetic transition temperatures for semi-infinite systems, emphasizing SPPD as a probe of short-range magnetic order.
