Abstract
We discuss, within a real-space renormalization-group, interesting thermal effects (surface singularity at the bulk transition ; Ising-Heisenberg crossover) concerning the free surface of a semi-infinite d = 3 spin 1/2 anisotropic Heisenberg ferromagnet. Comparison with the Mermin-Wagner theorem and with experimental work is done.
