dc.description.abstract | We show results from Monte Carlo simulations of a two-dimensional Heisenberg model for ultrathin films with perpendicular anisotropy. A complete phase diagram is obtained as a function of anisotropy and temperature, spanning a wide range of behavior. We discuss our results in relation to experimental findings in different ultrathin films. We observe and characterize a line of spin reorientation transitions. This transition from out-of-plane stripe order to in-plane ferromagnetic order presents an intermediate paramagnetic gap in a finite region of parameter space, as reported in experiments. For large anisotropies, direct transitions from a low temperature stripe phase to a paramagnetic or tetragonal phase with dominant perpendicular magnetization is observed, which is also in agreement with experiments. We also show the phase diagram for a system without exchange, i.e., with pure dipolar and anisotropy interactions. It shows a similar behavior to the ferromagnetic case with antiferromagnetic instead of stripe phases at low temperatures. A spin reorientation transition is also found in this case. | en |
