Abstract
Only recently has it become clear that quantum fluctuations do not des troy long-range order in the ground state of the 2D S = 1/2 square-lat tice Heisenberg antiferromagnet. We report a neutron scattering study of the static structure factor of Sr2CuO2Cl2, which is an optimal expe rimental realization of this model. Excellent agreement for the magnet ic correlation length is found to exist between theory, Monte Carlo re sults and our experiment.
