Abstract
We study a two-dimensional Heisenberg ferrimagnet composed of spin-1 and spin-3/2 sublattices considering both exchange and single-ion anisotropies. The adjoint effects of the two anisotropies on the possible compensation point are investigated. It is concluded that a primary condition for the compensation point to appear is that the single-ion anisotropy of the smaller spins should be nonzero and be greater than a certain value which depends on other parameters. The exchange anisotropy can raise the compensation point slightly. The thermodynamic functions are evaluated. All the thermodynamic functions with various parameter values are smooth no matter whether there is a compensation point or not. Thus, from the thermodynamic functions, one is unable to judge if the compensation occurs.
