Abstract :
The influence of random fluctuations in modulation amplitude, thickness of layers, and width of interdiffusion zones on the Curie temperature of compositionally modulated magnetic films is studied in the molecular field approximation. The Curie temperature has been found to be most sensitive to the fluctuations in the modulation amplitude, which give rise to some kind of localized magnetism in the film
