- Description
- We discuss a controversial point of surface magnetism in semi-infinite three-dimensional systems. More precisely, the thermal evolution of the surface spontaneous magnetization is expected to present, whenever<math> T^{surface}_{c} > T^{bulk}_{c}\,\!</math>, a singularity at <math>T = T^{bulk}_{c}\,\!</math>. The nature of this singularity has been, during recent years, subject of controversy on both theoretical and experimental grounds. The point is analysed and (possibly) optimal conditions for its definitive clarification are presented.
