In contrast to Cr based oxy delafossites (DFs) with predominant antiferromagnetic (afm) nearest neighbor (nn) interaction in the Heisenberg triangular lattice, AgCrSe₂ as a non oxy DFs member is characterized by competing interactions (ferromagnetic nn- vs afm third neighbor interaction). Due to this, the magnetism, can be tuned by relatively small magnetic fields, allowing us to probe the H-T phase diagram in great detail. Large single crystals are grown by chemical vapor transport and studied by magnetization, specific heat, and thermal expansion and Cr-electron spin resonance and neutron diffraction as local probes. An anisotropic cycloidal ordering with unusual extended two-dimensional fluctuations is found [1]. The impact of antisymmetric interactions (Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya) due to the noncentrosymmetric polar space group (R3m) is discussed.
