Abstract

In this paper we generalize the fermionic representation for S=1/2S=1/2 spins to arbitrary spins. Within a mean field theory we obtain several spin liquid states for spin S=1S=1 antiferromagnets on triangular lattices, including gapless f-wave spin liquid and topologically nontrivial px+ipyp_x+ip_y spin liquid. After considering different competing orders, we construct a phase diagram for the J1J_1-J3J_3-KK model. The application to recently discovered material NiGa2S4\mathrm{NiGa_2S_4} is discussed.
