Abstract: We have investigated the effect of single-ion anisotropy of the “easy plane” type on the phase states of a ferrimagnet with $S$ = 1 and $\sigma$ = 1/2 sublattices and non-Heisenberg (bilinear and biquadratic in spins) exchange interaction for the sublattice with $S$ = 1. It is shown that taking into account both the non-Heisenberg exchange interaction and the single-ion anisotropy of the sublattice with $S$ = 1 leads to the realization of a phase with vector order parameters (ferrimagnetic phase) and a phase characterized by both vector and tensor order parameters (quadrupole-ferrimagnetic). It is shown that taking into account single-ion anisotropy changes the type of phase transition in comparison with an isotropic non-Heisenberg ferrimagnet. A phase diagram is constructed, and the condition for the compensation of the sublattice spins is determined.

Keywords: ferrimagnet, biquadratic exchange interaction, single-ion anisotropy “easy plane”, quadrupole-ferrimagnetic phase, phase transition.
