Absence of a classical long-range order in S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet on triangular lattice

We study the quantum phase transition of an $S=1/2$ anisotropic $\alpha$ $(\equiv J_z/J_{xy})$ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. We calculate the sublattice magnetization and the long-range helical order-parameter and their Binder ratios on finite systems with $N \leq 36$ sites. The $N$ dependence of the Binder ratios reveals that the classical 120$^{\circ}$ N\'{e}el state occurs for $\alpha \lesssim 0.55$, whereas a critical collinear state occurs for $1/\alpha \lesssim 0.6$. This result is at odds with a widely-held belief that the ground state of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the 120$^{\circ}$ N\'{e}el state, but it also provides a possible mechanism explaining experimentally observed spin liquids.
