Triangular-lattice(TL) antiferromagnets are well-known canditates for frustrated magnetism. By introducing different magnetic rare-earth ions, one can change the magnetic interactions to reinforce frustration in these systems. This may lead to the realization of a quantum spin liquid state or to various competing ordered phases, e.g. an oblique version of the 120∘ state or a collinear up-up-down phase. The delafossite KCeS2 is a new contender realizing anisotropic magnetic interactions. From magnetization measurements of KCeS2-crystals, we observe a strong anisotropy between the basal plane and the c axis. This cannot be explained by g-factor values obtained from single site CASSCF calculations and suggests anisotropic magnetic interactions. Furthermore, our He3 specific heat studies at zero field reveal a phase transition at TN = 0.38 K, which follows a non-monotonous shift as function of an applied in-plane field, resulting in three different magnetic phases in fields up to 9 T. We construct the magnetic phase diagram of KCeS2 and discuss the possible nature of the occurring phases.
