Abstract

MnPS3 is a quasi-2D S=52 antiferromagnet on a honeycomb lattice. Using an energy integrating neutron scattering technique, we have measured the structure factor S(k) of the instantaneous magnetic fluctuations. The temperature dependence of the correlation length ξ follows the Kosterlitz–Thouless prediction with parameters that are consistently described by a Heisenberg system with inter plane coupling J′/J=1405 and weak xy-anisotropy.
