Abstract
The influence of planar and bulk elastic interactions on the phase states of an ultrathin ferromagnetic film with anisotropic exchange interaction is investigated for different relationships among the material constants. It is shown that when the elastic interactions, with competing exchange and single-ion anisotropies, and the magnetic dipole interaction are taken into account, a cascade of phase transitions appears. Furthermore, taking the “planar” elastic interaction into account leads to realization of an additional phase, with an easy axis in the film plane. This state is absent in the case of a bulk elastic subsystem.
