Abstract We perform $^{23}$Na nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetization measurements on an $S = 1$, quasi-2D honeycomb lattice antiferromagnet Na$_3$Ni$_2$BiO$_6$. A large positive Curie-Weiss constant of 22.9K is observed. The NMR spectra at low fields are consistent with a zigzag magnetic order, indicating a large easy-axis anisotropy. With the field applied along the $c^{*}$ axis, the NMR spectra confirm the existence of a $1/3$-magnetization plateau phase between 5.1T and 7.1T. The transition from the zigzag order to the $1/3$-magnetization plateau phase is also found to be a first-order type. A monotonic decrease of the spin gap is revealed in the $1/3$-magnetization plateau phase, which reaches zero at a quantum critical field $H_{\rm C}\approx8.35$T before entering the fully polarized phase. These data suggest the existence of exchange frustration in the system along with strong ferromagnetic interactions, hosting the possibility for Kitaev physics. Besides, well below the ordered phase, the 1/$T_1$ at high fields shows either a level off or an enhancement upon cooling below 3K, which suggests the existence of low-energy fluctuations.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
