Abstract
Based on the realistic spin Hamiltonian for the frustrated quasi-two-dimensional spin- antiferromagnet , a three-dimensional spin ordering in the applied magnetic field near the saturation value is studied within the magnon Bose-Einstein condensation scenario. Using a hard-core boson formulation of the spin model, a strongly anisotropic magnon dispersion in is calculated. In the dilute magnon limit near , the hard-core boson constraint results in an effective magnon interaction which is treated in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The critical temperature is calculated as a function of the magnetic field and compared with the phase boundary experimentally determined in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 127202 (2005)].
