Abstract [en]
We report the synthesis and detailed magnetic and specific heat studies on NdSbSe, (a ZrSiS-basedstructure) magnetic topological material. The temperature-dependent magnetization shows thepresence of competing magnetic interactions (TN<T<150 K) in addition to a long-rangeantiferromagnetic (AFM) ordering below 4.2 K. In the AFM state, the isothermal magnetizationconfirms spin reorientation to the critical magnetic field of 40 kOe. Frequency-dependentac-susceptibility measurements have probed the nonequilibrium dynamics of frustrated magneticmoments (near 150 K). The lambda-like peak at 3.8 K observed in the specific heat shifts to a lowertemperature with applied magnetic fields and validates the AFM order. In addition, the specificheat does not exhibit any sign corresponding to the short-range magnetic order near 150 K(spin-glass-like memory effect). In addition, the derived parameters from specific heat suggest thepresence of a strong electronic correlation in NdSbSe, resulting in a Kondo-like signature intemperature-dependent resistivity data.
