Using an energy integrating neutron scattering technique, we have measured the structure factor S(k) of the instantaneous magnetic fluctuations. The temperature dependence of the correlation length xi follows the Kosterlitz-Thouless prediction with parameters that are consistently described by a Heisenberg system with inter plane coupling J'/'J = 1/405 and weak xy-anisotropy.antiferromagnetismcorrelation lengthsKosterlitz-Thoulesstransitiontwo-dimensional systemsMagnetic correlations in the 2D S=5/2 honeycomb antiferromagnet MnPS3text::journal::journal article::research article
