We report the experimental and analytical results of electron spin resonance (ESR) and magnetization at high magnetic fields of up to about 68 T of the quasi two-dimensional triangular lattice antiferromagnet NiGa 2 S 4 . From the temperature evolution of the ESR absorption linewidth, we find a distinct disturbance of the development of the spin correlation by Z 2 -vortices between 23 and 8.5 K. Below T v =8.5 K, spin-wave calculations based on a 57° spiral spin order well explain the frequency dependence of the ESR resonance fields and high-field magnetization processes for H ∥ c and H ⊥ c , although the magnetization for H ⊥ c at high fields is different from the calculated one. Furthermore, we explain the field-independent specific heat with a T 2 dependence by the same spin-wave calculation, but the magnitude of specific heat is much less than the observed one. The single ion anisotropy constant D / k B =0.8 K is the same order of T V (ξ/ a ) -2 =0.3–0.4 K where ξ and a are the correlation length and ...
