【 摘 要 】

The excitation spectrum of an S=1/2 two-dimensional triangular quantum antiferromagnet is studied using 1/S expansion. Due to the noncollinearity of the classical ground state significant and nontrivial corrections to the spin-wave spectrum appear already in the first order in 1/S in contrast to the square lattice antiferromagnet. The resulting magnon dispersion is almost flat in a substantial portion of the Brillouin zone. Our results are in quantitative agreement with recent series expansion studies by Zheng et al.
