We calculate the sublattice magnetization and the long-range helical order parameter and their Binder ratios on finite systems with N≤36 sites. The N dependence of the Binder ratios reveals that the classical 120∘ Néel state occurs for α≲0.55, whereas a critical collinear state occurs for 1/α≲0.6. This result is at odds with a widely held belief that the ground state of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the 120∘ Néel state, but it also provides a possible mechanism explaining experimentally observed spin liquids.}, pages = {184414-1--184414-4}, title = {Absence of classical long-range order in an S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice}, volume = {90}, year = {2014} }
