Within the framework of many-body Green's function theory there are studied the properties of the quantum Blume-Capel model for ferromagnetic films with an alternating single-ion anisotropy on the odd atomic layers and on the even ones. We analyse various possible phase diagrams for the surface exchange couplings and the single-ion anisotropy parameters.
