Abstract
Abstract Surface magnetic properties of semi‐infinite spin‐1/2 Ising ferromagnet with a diluted surface in an applied transverse field are investigated by the use of an effective‐field theory with correlations. A number of characteristic behaviors arise in the temperature and transverse field dependences of the surface magnetization. A similarity exists between the temperature plots and the transverse field plots for the surface magnetization, which proposes that the research of surface magnetization in an applied transverse field fixing temperature at a very low one may open a new method for clarifying a variety of problems in surface magnetism experimentally.
