Abstract

The spin 1/2 Heisenberg model on a triangular lattice with interchain exchange, J', weaker than the intrachain exchange J, is a particularly well-studied frustrated magnet because of its relevance to Cs2CuCl4, which is thought to be in close proximity to a spin liquid phase. Although an incomensurate spiral state is stable for J'~J, a variet of theoretical studies find evidence for spin liquid behavior well before the decoupled chain limit, J'=0, is reached. However, a renormalization group approach found the surprising result that a collinear antiferromagnetic phase was stable for small J'/J. This talk will briefly review earlier studies and present new results on the relative stability of spiral, collinear and spin liquid phases.
