✦ Synopsis

The magnetic properties in a finite ferromagnetic superlattice are studied. The spin-1/2 Ising model with alternating intralayer parameters is used within the reaction field approximation. The transition temperatures are calculated as a function of the intra-and interlayer exchange interactions and of the magnetic moments of surface atoms. The magnetization profiles are also studied.
