The polarization and susceptibility of thin antiferroelectric films are presented using a Green's function technique within an Ising model in a transverse field. Both quantities vary with the numbers of layers. Whereas at low temperatures the suceptibilty of the surface layer increases stronger than that of the second layer, the polarization of the surface is smaller compared to the polarization of the second layer. Such behavior has no counterpart in ferroelectric thin films. The effect is attributed to inhomogeneous thermal fluctuations.
