Abstract

We apply the coupled cluster method to high orders of approximation and exact diagonalizations to study the ground-state properties of the triangular-lattice spin-s Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We calculate the fundamental ground-state quantities, namely, the energy e0, the sublattice magnetization Msub, the in-plane spin stiffness ρs and the in-plane magnetic susceptibility χ for spin quantum numbers s=1/2,1,…,smax, where smax=9/2 for e0 and Msub, smax=4 for ρs and smax=3 for χ . We use the data for s≥3/2 to estimate the leading quantum corrections to the classical values of e0, Msub, ρs, and χ. In addition, we study the magnetization process, the width of the 1/3 plateau as well as the sublattice magnetizations in the plateau state as a function of the spin quantum number s.
