Abstract

Recent work has shown that the triangular lattice spin-1/21/2 J1J_1-J2J_2 Heisenberg and XXZ antiferromagnets may exhibit coplanar or supersolid orders proximate to a gapless Dirac spin liquid phase. We explore a distinct SU(2N) ⁣ ⁣× ⁣ ⁣SU(M)SU(2N)\!\!\times\!\!SU(M) fermionic parton approach, complemented by variational Monte Carlo calculations for the spin-1/21/2 model, to study the phase diagram of these models. We also calculate their dynamical spin response including parton interactions within a random phase approximation, and discuss implications for neutron scattering on triangular lattice cobaltates Ba3_3CoSb2_2O9_9, Na2_2BaCo(PO4_4)2_2, K2_2Co(SeO3_3)2_2, Rb2_2Co(SeO3_3)2_2, and Yb-based magnet KYbSe2_2.
