The spin 1/2 triangular lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet remains on of the most attractive models to explore highly entangled quantum spin states in proximity to magnetic order. In my presentation I will discuss our recent results on CsYbSe₂. This materials exhibits strong two-dimensional magnetic behavior in absence of exchange and structural disorder and its spin Hamiltonian is well described by J₁–J₂ AFM Heisenberg model. We performed comprehensive INS measurements over the whole field scale starting from zero field up to the saturation and observed that corresponding excitation spectra evolve from continuum-like to relatively sharp spin-wave modes in the up-up-down phase, then back to continua and back to spin waves. We further support our observation by cylinder MPS calculation, which reproduce all observed features with semi-quantitative accuracy. Thus our comprehensive experimental and theoretical analysis of the field-induced spin excitations in the CsYbSe₂ provides valuable insight into the dynamics of a broad class of quantum many-body systems.
