  Magnetic excitations of the quasi-1D S=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet (HAF)
Cs2CuCl4 have been measured as a function of magnetic field using neutron
scattering. For T<0.62 K and B=0 T the weak inter-chain coupling produces 3D
incommensurate ordering. Fields greater than Bc =1.66 T, but less than the
field (~8 T) required to fully align the spins, are observed to decouple the
chains, and the system enters a disordered intermediate-field phase (IFP). The
IFP excitations are in agreement with the predictions of Muller et al. for the
1D S=1/2 HAF, and Talstra and Haldane for the related 1/r^2 chain (the
Haldane-Shastry model). This behaviour is inconsistent with linear spin-wave
theory.
