Emergent Dispersive Multipolar Excitations in NaErSe${}_2$

Abstract

In most condensed-matter systems, local and collective excitations remain decoupled due to their distinct energy scales. Here, we identify coupled local-collective excitations in the triangular antiferromagnet NaErSe${}_2$ by combining neutron spectroscopy with total angular momentum modeling. The low-lying crystalline electric field (CEF) doublets include a dipolar ${\Gamma }_4$ ground state forming stripe-$x$ order and a ${\Gamma }_{5,6}$ excited state with dipole-octupole character. High-resolution spectra reveal emergent symmetry-selected dispersions, where magnon branches from the ground state are replicated on higher ${\Gamma }_4$ levels but couple with the ${\Gamma }_{5,6}$ levels to form a distinct multipolar band. An applied magnetic field reconstructs the CEF wavefunctions and polarizes the system into a multipolar ferromagnet, further reshaping the spectra. This study demonstrates the emergent coupling of local and collective excitations driven by strong spin-orbit coupling and establishes NaErSe${}_2$ as a platform for field-tunable multipolar excitations in frustrated magnets.
