Abstract: The Hamiltonian of a two-sublattice antiferromagnetic spins, with single (hard-axis) and double ion anisotropies described by $$ is investigated using the method of effective potential. The problem is mapped to a single particle quantum-mechanical Hamiltonian in terms of the relative coordinate and reduced mass. We study the quantum-classical phase transition of the escape rate of this model. We show that the first-order phase transition for this model sets in at the critical value $J_c=fracK+J_{z}2$ while for the anisotropic Heisenberg coupling $H=J(S_{1x}{S}_{2x}+S_{1y}{S}_{2y})+J_z{S}_{1z}{S}_{2z}+K(S_{1z}^2+S_{2z}^2)$ we obtain $J_c=frac2K-J_{z}3$ . The phase diagrams of the transition are also studied.
