NaYbS2 is a candidate material for a pseudo-S = 1/2 based quantum spin liquid on the ideal triangular lattice. Single crystals of the solid solution series NaYb1−xLuxS2 could be synthesized over the entire substitution range 0 < x <1. The chemical and structural analysis of this series reveals the statistically homogeneous replacement of Yb3+ by Lu3+ ions. Long-range magnetic order has not been detected in magnetic susceptibility measurements at any x down to 2 K. This suggests NaYb1−xLuxS2 as a family of diluted triangular-lattice spin liquids. We started investigating this series at specific doping concentrations by means of zero field (ZF) and longitudinal field (LF) µSR experiments to test for the presence of static magnetism and to investigate the nature of the magnetic ground state.
