Abstract Recently, the family of rare-earth chalcohalides were proposed as candidate compounds to realize the Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) [Chin. Phys. Lett. 38 047502 (2021)]. In the present work, we firstly propose an effective spin Hamiltonian consistent with the symmetry group of the crystal structure. Then we apply classical Monte Carlo simulations to preliminarily study the model and establish a phase diagram. When approaching to the low temperature limit, several magnetic long range orders are observed, including the stripe, the zigzag, the antiferromagnetic (AFM), the ferromagnetic (FM), the incommensurate spiral (IS), the multi-Q, and the 120° ones. We further calculate the thermodynamic properties of the system, such as the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and the heat capacity. The ordering transition temperatures reflected in the two quantities agree with each other. For most interaction regions, the system is magnetically more susceptible in the ab-plane than in the c-direction. The stripe phase is special, where the susceptibility is fairly isotropic in the whole temperature region. These features provide useful information to understand the magnetic properties of related materials.

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.
