We carried out Monte-Carlo simulations for a 2D-bilayer Ising model on a square lattice, with a single interaction parameter, (Formula presented), for both intralayer and interlayer spin pairs. The demixing transition in our SF system can be mapped, in principle, onto this simple model. However, a second-order transition is found.
