22. T.J. Sato find that the chemical triangular lattice of Mn ions is slightly trimerized with exchange strength J1 between the nearest neighbors belonging to the same trimer and exchange strength J2 between the ions belonging to neighboring trimers. The zero wave-vector magnon spectrum of the trimerized chemical lattice is calculated using Eq. 4 and the substitution J→(J1+2J2)/3.
