摘要
The temperature dependence of the magnetization near the surface of a band ferromagnet is measured with monolayer resolution. The simultaneous application of highly surface-sensitive techniques enables one to deduce the layer-dependent magnetization curves at a Fe(100) surface. Analysis of data is based on a simple mean-field approach. Implications for modem theories of itinerant-electron ferromagnetism are discussed.
