The thickness-dependent spin-polarized electronic structure of strained ultrathin and thin films of Gd has been investigated. The surface magnetic structure dominates the magnetic ordering of the ultrathin Gd films. With decreasing thickness some bulk bands exhibit increasingly more “passive” magnetic behavior. These bulk bands resemble a paramagnet over an increasing volume of the bulk Brillouin zone with decreasing film thickness.
