Study of Thin and Semi-Infinites Films 35653). Our intention is to study the effects of different exchange couplings on the critical temperature in the thin film and semi-infinite film on the critical exponent associated with the magnetic susceptibility. The technique of HTSE given by Stanley and Kaplan (SK) 54,55 has the following advantages: first, we can exactly deal with any symmetry of the magnetic structure; second, we can easily treat the Ising, XY and Heisenberg models in a unified way; third, this method is more fundamental than usual molecular field approach as it takes into consideration spin-spin correlation. The technique of HTSE extrapolated with the PA method have been widely developed and applied to various magnetic systems. It provides valid estimations of critical temperature for real magnetic system. 56-58 The method considered here is more fundamental than usual molecular field approach as it partially takes into consideration spin-spin correlations.
