The specific heat and temperature dependence of magnetizations in transverse Ising thin films are investigated by the use of the standard mean-field theory and the effective-field theory with correlations. The exchange interaction and transverse field at the surfaces take values different from...

The characteristic influence of exchange interaction and transverse field at the surface on the critical behavior of a ferromagnetic transverse Ising thin film is examined by the use of the standard mean-field theory and the effective-field theory with correlations. The exchange interaction and...
