Single-site magnetic anisotropy governed by interlayer cation charge imbalance in triangular-lattice AYbX2 — •Ziba Zangenehpourzadeh, Stanislav Avdoshenko, Jeroen van den Brink, and Liviu Hozoi — IFW Dresden, 01069 Dresden, Germany

The behavior in magnetic field of a paramagnetic center is characterized by its g tensor. Here we shed light on the anisotropy of the g tensor of Yb3+ 4f13 ions in NaYbX2 and NaYbO2, layered triangular-lattice materials suggested to host spin-liquid ground states. Using quantum chemical calculations we show that, even if the ligand-cage trigonal distortions are significant in these systems, the decisive role in realizing strongly anisotropic, g factors is played by interlayer cation charge imbalance effects. The latter refer to the asymmetry experienced by a given Yb center due to having higher ionic charges at adjacent metal sites within the magnetic ab layer. This should be a rather general feature of 4f13 layered delafossites: less interlayer positive charge is associated with stronger in-plane magnetic response [1].
