contents In our study, we conduct magnetization and heat capacity measurements to investigate field induced magnetic phase transitions within the newly synthesized compound K2Ni2(SeO3)3, a spin-1 dimer system arranged on a triangular lattice. From our first-principles simulations, we determine that the spin system in K2Ni2(SeO3)3 can be represented as a two-dimensional triangular-lattice spin-1 dimer model, including an intra-dimer exchange of J1 = 0.32 meV, an inter-dimer exchange of J2 = 0.79 meV, and an easy-axis anisotropy of D = 0.14 meV. The presence of easy-axis magnetic anisotropy explains the distinct magnetic phase diagrams observed under c-axis directional and in-plane magnetic fields. Notably, our investigation unveils a two-step phase transition with the magnetic field aligned with the c direction. Our findings yield valuable insights into the magnetic phase transitions inherent to geometrically frustrated magnetic systems featuring dimer structures.
