Spin dynamics in the quasi-2D Honeycomb material Na₂Co₂TeO₆ probed by Electron Spin Resonance — •Christoph Wellm^1,2, Vladislav Kataev¹, Bernd Büchner^1,2, Weiliang Yao³, and Yuan Li^3,4 — ¹Leibniz Institute for Solid State and Materials Research IFW Dresden, D-01069 — ²Institut für Festkörper- und Materialphysik, Technische Universität Dresden, D-01062 — ³International Center for Quantum Materials, School of Physics, Peking University, Beijing 100871, China — ⁴Collaborative Innovation Center of Quantum Matter, Beijing 100871, China

We report an electron spin resonance (ESR) study on single crystals of Na₂Co₂TeO₆, a layered honeycomb material providing a possible realization of Kitaev physics [1]. Similar to previously conducted magnetization measurements [1], ESR data reveals magnetic anisotropy and interesting, complex angular and temperature dependent behavior. In addition, low-energy magnetic excitations can be examined. Our results contribute to a thorough understanding of the magnetic properties and spin correlations in the title compound.
