Abstract
We have carried out Monte Carlo simulations to study the magnetic properties of a mixed S = 1 and S = 3/2 ferrimagnetic system interacting antiferromagnetically on a one-dimensional spin chain with single-ion anisotropy. It has been shown that at sufficiently low temperatures, the system has magnetization plateaus near the ground state under an external field. Other interesting physical quantities such as the specific heat and the Néel order at low temperatures are also discussed.
