  We numerically investigate the critical behavior of the spin-(1,1/2)
Heisenberg ferrimagnet with anisotropic exchange coupling in a magnetic field.
A quantized magnetization plateau as a function of the field, appearing at a
third of the saturated magnetization, is stable over whole the
antiferromagnetic coupling region. The plateau vanishes in the ferromagnetic
coupling region via the Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Comparing the quantum
and classical magnetization curves, we elucidate what are essential quantum
effects.
