Title Magnetization on rough ferromagnetic surfaces
Date 2000-11
Description Using Ising-model Monte Carlo simulations, we show a strong dependence of surface magnetization on surface roughness. On ferromagnetic surfaces with spin-exchange coupling larger than that of the bulk, the surface magnetic ordering temperature decreases toward the bulk Curie temperature with increasing roughness. For surfaces with spin-exchange coupling smaller than that of the bulk, a crossover behavior occurs: at low temperature, the surface magnetization decreases with increasing roughness; at high temperature, the reverse is true.
