Field dependences of surface magnetization in a semi-infinite Ising model with a nonrandom surface or surface amorphization

Abstract
Field dependences of surface magnetization in the semi-infinite spin-1/2 Ising ferromagnet with a nonrandom surface or surface amorphization are investigated by the use of the effective-field theory corresponding to the Zernike approximation in the bulk. We find that the system behaves in a variety of notable ways for both the random and the uniform models.
