英文摘要Alkali-metal rare-earth chalcogenide ARECh(2) (A = alkali or monovalent metal, RE = rare earth, Ch = O, S, Se, Te) is a large family of quantum spin liquid candidates we discovered recently. Unlike YbMgGaO4, most members in the family, except for the oxide ones, have a relatively small crystalline electric field (CEF) energy gap from the ground state to the first excited state. This makes the conventional Curie-Weiss analysis at finite temperatures inapplicable and the CEF excitations may play an essential role in understanding the low-energy spin physics. Here we consider an effective magnetic Hamiltonian incorporating the CEF excitations and spin-spin interactions, to accurately describe thermodynamics in such a system. By taking NaYbSe2 as an example, we were able to analyze magnetic susceptibility, magnetization under pulsed high fields, and heat capacity systematically and comprehensively. The analysis allows us to produce accurate anisotropic exchange coupling energies and unambiguously determine a crossover temperature (similar to 25 K in the case of NaYbSe2), below which the CEF effects fade away and pure spin-spin interactions stand out. We further validated the effective picture by successfully explaining the anomalous temperature dependence of electron spin resonance spectral width. The effective scenario in principle can be generalized to other rare-earth spin systems with small CEF excitations.
