The quest for the elusive Kitaev Quantum Spin Liquid phase (KQSL) in Kitaev candidates has resulted in the discovery of unexpected exotic magnetic phases due to competing Kitaev, Heisenberg and off-diagonal interactions in real materials. Honeycomb cobaltate, Na3Co2SbO6 (NCSO) has attracted much interest due to the predictions of its proximity to the KQSL phase. Using magnetic and thermodynamic methods, we mapped out the magnetic phase diagram of high-quality NCSO single crystals for all three main crystallographic directions. We observe a Jeff = 1/2 ground state with antiferromagnetic order (TN = 7 K) and multiple field-induced metamagnetic transitions in three field directions. The observed anisotropy and field-induced transitions are modeled within an extended JK Γ Γ′ model. Our work uncovers new exotic magnetic phases both in-plane and out-of-plane field directions.
