Abstract

A Monte Carlo simulation with heat bath algorithm is used to study the effect of random crystal field and surface exchange interactions on the critical behavior and the magnetic properties of a spin-1 Ising ferromagnetic thin film having the simple cubic symmetry. The phase diagram exhibits a rich variety of behaviors such as the double reentrant phenomena and the existence of tricritical points. Thermal magnetization behavior and phase diagrams have been discussed in detail.
