Abstract

The phase transition properties of Ising, classical XY and Heisenberg of diluted ferromagnetic thin film are studied by the method of exact high-temperature series expansions extrapolated with the Padé approximants method. The reduced critical temperature τcτc of the diluted ferromagnetic thin films is studied as a function of film thickness L   and the exchange interactions in the bulk JbJb, in the surface JsJs and between surface and nearest-neighbour layer J⊥J⊥. It is found that τcτc increases with the exchange interactions of surface and L  . The magnetic phase diagram (τcτc versus dilution x  ) is obtained. A critical value of the surface exchange interaction above which the surface magnetism appears is obtained. The dependence of the critical parameter of surface reduced coupling R2c as a function of the dilution x   and the ratio of the exchange interaction between the surface and nearest-neighbour layer to the bulk one R1R1 for the three studied models has been investigated. The percolation threshold is defined as the concentration xpxp at which τc=0τc=0. The obtained values are xp≈0.2xp≈0.2 in the bulk and xp≈0.4xp≈0.4 at the surface.
