Abstract

We develop a procedure for calculating the magnetic properties of a ferromagnetic Heisenberg film with single-ion anisotropy which is valid for arbitrary spin and film thickness. Applied to sc(100) and fcc(100) films with spin S=7/2 the theory yields the layer dependent magnetizations and Curie temperatures of films of various thicknesses making it possible to investigate magnetic properties of films at the interesting 2D-3D transition.
