Abstract
A theoretical study of a mixed spin- and spin- Ising system with independent transverse fields is present- ed using an effective field method within the framework of a single-site cluster theory. In this approach the effective field equations are derived using a probability distribution method based on the use of generalized van der Waerden identities accounting exactly for the single-site kinematic relations. The effect of the transverse fields on the critical behaviour is studied. The thermal dependence of the lon- gitudinal and transverse components of the magnetization and its higher moments is also studied.
