[1] Low temperature quantum behavior of antiferromagnetic simple cubic thin films

Self-consistent layer magnetizations are calculated at arbitrary temperature in antiferromagnetic simple cubic thin films with Heisenberg spins 1/2, for a given set of surface parameters, by a Green function technique. It is shown that due to quantum fluctuations, there is a spatial oscillation of the layer magnetization near the surface at low temperature. The profile of this oscillation depends on the surface parameters.
