| Summary:

We report measurements of antiferromagnetic resonances in the van der Waals
easy-axis antiferromagnet CrSBr. The interlayer exchange field and
magnetocrystalline anisotropy fields are comparable to laboratory magnetic
fields, allowing a rich variety of gigahertz-frequency dynamical modes to be
accessed. By mapping the resonance frequencies as a function of the magnitude
and angle of applied magnetic field we identify the different regimes of
antiferromagnetic dynamics. The spectra show good agreement with a
Landau-Lifshitz model for two antiferromagnetically-coupled sublattices,
accounting for inter-layer exchange and triaxial magnetic anisotropy. Fits
allow us to quantify the parameters governing the magnetic dynamics: at 5 K,
the interlayer exchange field is $mu_0 H_E =$ 0.395(2) T, and the hard and
intermediate-axis anisotropy parameters are $mu_0 H_c =$ 1.30(2) T and $mu_0
H_a =$ 0.383(7) T. The existence of within-plane anisotropy makes it possible
to control the degree of hybridization between the antiferromagnetic resonances
using an in-plane magnetic field.
