Surface phase diagram of the Ising model with modified surface-bulk coupling
T. Lahcini, N. Benayad
Abstract
The phase diagram of the three-dimensional Ising system with intrasurface Js and surface-bulk J^ interactions modified with respect to the bulk exchange interaction Js is studied by the use of an effective field method within the framework of a single-site cluster theory. In this investigation, the new parameter J^ strongly affects the phase diagram obtained recently in the case J^=Js. Indeed, our calculations reveal some qualitatively interesting features for the surface when the bulk is ordered or disordered. Surface magnetisations are also investigated for different values of the ratio R=Js /JB
