•The phase diagrams and magnetizations of a transverse Ising antiferromagnet consisting of two A and B layers are examined by the uses of the EFT and the MFA.•Ferrimagnetic behaviors have been found for the total magnetization.
The phase diagrams and temperature dependences of total magnetization mT in a transverse Ising antiferromagnet consisting of alternating two (A and B) layers are studied by the uses of the effective-field theory with correlations and the mean-field-theory. A lot of characteristic phenomena, namely ferrimagnetic behaviors, have been found in the mT, when the crystallographically equivalent conditions between the A and B layers are broken. The appearance of a compensation point has been found below its transition temperature.
