Description

The magnetization process of the S = 1 and S = 2 spin alternating ferrimagnetic chain with the single-ion anisotropies is investigated by the numerical exact diagonalization and the density matrix renormalization group method. It is found that the mechanism of the 2/3 magnetization plateau formation due to quantum effects depends on the anisotropy constants. The obtained phase diagram of the 2/3 plateau is revealed to include three different phases
