Abstract
1T-tantalum disulphide (1T-TaS2) is a promising material to realize quantum spin liquid state and fractional excitations. Here, we take a closer look on the temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility of 1T-TaS2 at low magnetic fields to understand the formation of local magnetic moment in this system and its response as a function of temperature and field. We found that the susceptibility increases with reduction in the temperature even in the nearly commensurate charge density wave (CDW) phase, which exhibits metallic conductivity and hence is expected to exhibit temperature independent Pauli paramagnetic susceptibility. Therefore, it indicates that local moment starts forming in the nearly commensurate CDW phase itself, which is well above the temperature where the evidence of Mott insulating state is found in resistivity measurement. In the commensurate CDW phase, temperature dependence of susceptibility significantly deviates from the Curie-Weiss law and does not show the magnetic properties expected from S = 1/2 spin on a two dimensional triangular lattice. Below T = 10 K, susceptibility follows a power law dependence on the temperature, which indicates towards the formation of random singlet state in 1T-TaS2.
