Abstract

Applying the effective-field theory, we study the phase diagrams of a transverse Ising film. The phase diagrams show that, for JS/J < Rc (Rc is a critical value of JS/J), the critical temperature Tc of the film is smaller than the bulk critical temperature Tbc of the corresponding semi-infinite system; however, for JS/J >Rc, Tc is larger than the surface critical temperature Tsc of the semi-infinite system and as JS/J is increased further, Tc (except Tc of the film with two layers) rapidly approaches Tsc. We also calculate the critical transverse field hc and Tc as a function of the film thickness.
