Abstract

Based on the realistic spin Hamiltonian for the frustrated quasi-two-dimensional spin-12 antiferromagnet Cs2CuCl4, a three-dimensional spin ordering in the applied magnetic field B near the saturation value Bc 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 Cs2CuCl4 is calculated. In the dilute magnon limit near Bc, the hard-core boson constraint results in an effective magnon interaction which is treated in the Hartree-Fock approximation. The critical temperature Tc is calculated as a function of the magnetic field B and compared with the phase boundary Tc(B) experimentally determined in Cs2CuCl4 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 127202 (2005)].
