ESR Investigations of AgCrSe₂, AgCrS₂ and Cr₃Se₄ — •Jörg Sichelschmidt, Pierre Chailloleau, Michael Baenitz, Seo-Jin Kim, Helge Rosner, Vicky Hasse, and Marcus Schmidt — Max Planck Institute for Chemical Physics of Solids, 01187 Dresden, Germany

We investigated the Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) of Cr in the layered triangular lattice systems AgCrSe₂, AgCrS₂ and the structurally related Cr₃Se₄. These materials display a variety of interesting physical properties such as unconventional magnetic ordering [1], a spin-polarized surface state [2], an unconventional anomalous Hall effect [3] in AgCrSe₂ or multiferroic behavior in AgCrS₂, or directional Kondo transport [4]. At low temperatures, all these materials show a divergent ESR spin relaxation, which is typical for low-dimensional spin systems and indicates an increasing importance of Cr³⁺ spin correlations. This also leads to the formation of internal fields, as evidenced by the marked decrease in the resonance field. The relatively narrow Cr³⁺ ESR spectra allow to determine an ESR intensity which reflects the static susceptibility probed locally at the site of the Cr spins.
