摘要：

In situ magnetic resonance measurements of ultrathin Ni(111) on W(110) prepared in ultrahigh vacuum have been carried out to determine the thickness dependence of the critical exponent-beta and the Curie temperature T(C). We find that beta changes drastically from 0.30 to 0.13 between 7 and 5 monolayers. We attribute this behavior to a crossover from a three- to a two-dimensional magnetic behavior. The observed T(C)'s and linewidths also exhibit the effect of the dimensional crossover. Ni films less-than-or-equal-to 4 layers thick show a truly two-dimensional magnetic phase transition with beta = 0.13.
