      By using the Teukolsky master equation, we consider the gravitational, electromagnetic, and neutrino fields in Schwarzschild spacetime. The free energy and entropy of the spin fields are obtained in terms of the brick-wall model. It is shown that the entropy of all the spin fields due to the presence of the event horizon is proportional to the surface area of the event horizon, and the entropy of the neutrino field is the absolute minimum.
