Abstract
Within the framework of mean field theory, we examine the phase transitions in Ising magnetic films and superlattices. By transfer matrix method, we derive two general nonlinear equations for phase transition temperatures of Ising magnetic films and superlattices, respectively. The equations can be applied to the films and superlattices with arbitrary exchange interaction constants and arbitrary layer number. Numerical results for phase transition temperatures as a function of exchange interaction constants are presented.
