48 Summary ~ Features in S(k,ω) ~ Three distinctive features of dynamical structure factor S(k,ω) are obtained depending on the momentum, which is classified by the sign of J (k). J (k) = 0 : J (k) < 0 : J (k) > 0 : The interchain interactions effectively vanish. Spinons of the Heisenberg chain persist at these momenta. Bound states of spinons appear below the continuum, where a spinon pair moves coherently like a magnon. This bound state does not require ordered ground states. Spectral weight shifts upwards. The peak is broadened in the continuum. Anti-bound state is observed above 2-spinon continuum. In the present approach, power-law behaviors appear only at J (kx,ky)=0. The exponent η=1 (1D Heisenberg chain).

49 Summary ~ Comparison with Experiments ~ Unusual experimental features in Cs2CuCl4 have been consistently explained by the present approach basically without fitting parameter. Asymmetry of the dispersion relation : Bound state below the continuum for J (k)<0. Broad peak in the continuum for J (k)>0. Momentum dependence of line shape : Bound states are actually observed experimentally for J (k)<0 as a sharp peak. J (k) <0 J (k)<0 J (k) >0 J (k)=0 kx=π Large tail at kx=π : present approximation S(k,ω) at J (k)=0 S1D(kx,ω) (1D Heisenberg chain). Interpretation : descendants of 1D spinons strongly persist at J (k)=0.
