Thermal variations of surface, bulk and total dynamical order parameters (DOP) for a film and total order parameter for the films with different thicknesses have been examined. Opposite regimes of the critical value of reduced exchange interaction (surface to bulk ratio) $R_{c}$ at which the critical temperature becomes independent of film thickness $L$ has been also taken into consideration. The average magnetizations of each layer is reversed in these regimes. Based on the results, we have confirmed that the system represents a crossover behavior in between ordinary to extraordinary transition in the presence of surface exchange enhancement.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-26T15:26:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dynamic phase transition", "monte carlo simulations", "ferromagnetic thin-films", "total dynamical order parameters", "total order parameter" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 6, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
