We employ metadynamics simulations to calculate the free energy landscape ofthin ferromagnetic films and perform a systematic study of the temperaturedependence of magnetic anisotropy and of the spin-reorientation transitions. Byusing a simple spin model we recover the well-known power-law behavior of themagnetic anisotropy energy against magnetization and present a rather detailedanalysis of the spin-reorientation transitions in ultrathin films. Based ontensorial exchange interactions and anisotropy parameters derived fromfirst-principles calculations we perform simulations for Fe double layersdeposited on Au(001) and W(110). In case of Fe$_2$W(110) our simulationsdisplay an out-of-plane to in-plane spin-reorientation transition in agreementwith experiments.
