摘要
An in-plane spin reorientation transition in thin ferromagnetic films is discussed in terms of the thermodynamics of inhomogeneous low-dimensional systems based on a Neel sublattices concept while using a spin 1 Heisenberg Hamiltonian. The model allows us to investigate in a straightforward manner the layer-dependent phenomena. In this context, we propose a model of noncollinear magnetization structure based on the appropriate distribution of the anisotropy parameters inside the Fe films on W(110). The spin reorientation transition originates at the Fe/W(110) interface and proceeds via noncollinear magnetization structure toward the surface with increasing film thickness in accordance with the experimental findings. The temperature-driven spin reorientation transition in freestanding Fe films and in Fe/W(110) systems is also discussed in detail.
