Abstract
We study the quantum phase transition of an anisotropic Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a triangular lattice. We calculate the sublattice magnetization and the long-range helical order-parameter and their Binder ratios on finite systems with sites. The dependence of the Binder ratios reveals that the classical 120 N\'{e}el state occurs for , whereas a critical collinear state occurs for . This result is at odds with a widely-held belief that the ground state of a Heisenberg antiferromagnet is the 120 N\'{e}el state, but it also provides a possible mechanism explaining experimentally observed spin liquids.
