27. The phenomenon of the transition temperature enhancement for thin films near dilution are also present in a BW formalism, because the driven mechanism for this enhancement is surface segregation. See, for example, Sosa-Hernández, E.M., Aguilera-Granja, F. and Morán-López, J.L., Phys. Rev., B52, 1995, 5392.
