Description

This paper stuides the magnetization and quantum fluctuations of an antiferro-antiferromagnetic (AF-AF) double-layer at zero temperature. It is found that the exchanges and anisotropy constants affect the quantum fluctuations of spins. If the anisotropy exists, there will be no acoustic energy branch in the system. The anisotropy constant, antiferromagnetic intralayer and interlayer coupling have important roles in a balance of the quantum competition.
