The pyroelectric properties and the Curie temperature of a ferroelectric/ferroelectric superlattice with two alternative layers are studied for the transverse Ising model using the effective field theory with a probability distribution technique. The pyroelectric coefficient of bulk materials...

We examine the critical behavior of a finite alternating ferromagnetic superlattice based on the transverse Ising model. By the use of the transfer matrix method, we derive a nonlinear equation for the phase transition temperature of the superlattice. The critical temperature of the alternating...

The temperature dependence of the longitudinal magnetization as well as the longitudinal susceptibility of a ferroelectric superlattice described by a transverse spin-12 Ising model are studied using the effective field theory with a probability distribution technique that accounts for the...
