The Yb-based delafossite NaYbSe2 is a triangular-lattice antiferromagnet with space group R3m. In this compound, spin-orbit coupling leads to a pronounced magnetic anisotropy. The absence of magnetic long-range order at zero field is suggestive for a quantum spin-liquid ground state. From specific-heat and magnetization experiments, magnetically ordered states were observed for H ⊥ c and H || c exceeding 2 and 9 T, respectively. 23Na (I = 3/2) NMR probes the microscopic details of the field-induced magnetic structure. Measurements of the 1/T1-relaxation rate are consistent with the specific-heat data. At H ⊥ c = 5 T, the magnetization indicates an up-up-down spin arrangement with according asymmetric broadening of the NMR spectra. At H || c = 16 T, an umbrella-type configuration of the magnetic moments is predicted, in agreement with a symmetric broadening of the NMR spectra. Low-field measurements reveal a continuous increase of the 1/T1-relaxation rate and spectral broadening without any signature of long-range order down to 0.3 K.
