The recently synthesized triangular lattice magnet Na2BaCo(PO4)2 shows effective S = 1/2 behavior with strong quantum fluctuations persistent down to 50 mK in absence of long-range order, rendering it a promising candidate for the quantum spin liquid (QSL) ground state [1,2]. In this joined work, DFT calculations and ESR measurements provide a microscopic insight into the leading magnetic interactions and spin dynamics of the system. Using the full-potential code FPLO, the leading magnetic exchanges, the spin orbit coupling constant and the trigonal crystal field splitting are evaluated. ESR hints at a temperature-dependent magnetic moment in line with magnetization data, and shows enhanced spin-spin correlations at low-temperatures. The theoretical findings are compared to the new experimental results.
