Using the effective-field theory EFT based on the probability distribution technique, the effect of the random crystal field on the magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic mixed Ising system with both spin-1 and spin-3/2 is investigated. The critical temperature is discussed as function of different strengths of the random crystal field and the exchange interactions. The phase diagrams are calculated numerically for a square lattice and the number of characteristic phenomena, such as the tricritical point are found. Our results are different to that reported in Souza et al. (Physica A 444, 589–600 2016).
