Abstract

We investigate the thermodynamic properties of thin Ising films, in which the exchange parameter and transverse field are assumed different from the bulk values in the surface layers. We derive and illustrate mean-field expressions for the phase diagram, order-parameter profiles, specific heat and susceptibility.
