Fig. 1: Phase diagram of the S = 1/2 XXZ TLAF.

Δ = 1 (Δ = 0) corresponds to the Heisenberg (XY) model. The phase boundaries are obtained from the DMRG calculation in ref. 19. The shaded region indicates a QSL phase. The two unshaded regions correspond to the 120° and stripe long-range order, respectively. Eight data points excluding Ba2La2CoTe2O12 (BLCTO, a solid blue star symbol) are based on the parameters given in previous inelastic neutron scattering studies15,16,32,62,63,64,65,66. The error bars associated with BLCTO depict the uncertainties derived from the analysis of our high-temperature INS data.
