Among the Yb-based triangular-lattice magnets, the delafossite NaYbS2 is one of the promising candidates for realizing a quantum-spin-liquid (QSL) ground state. The magnetic phase diagram was probed by several experimental methods, such as specific-heat, magnetization, and NMR measurements. The proposed QSL ground state of NaYbS2 is suppressed at fields of several tesla, and long-range order with various spin configurations is manifested. As a next step, we investigated possible changes to this phenomenology by diluting the magnetic lattice of NaYbS2 by means of Lu substitution. A series of NaYb1−xLuxS2 single crystals, with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1, were synthesized and characterized by various probes, including ESR spectroscopy. The ESR data reveal a systematic reduction of the Weiss temperature as x is increased. Further, we present recent specific-heat measurements for samples with x ≤ 0.5, which reveal a systematic suppression of the transition temperatures to long-range order in magnetic fields with increasing Lu substitution.
