Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of Ba₃CuSb₂O ₉, which has a layered array of Cu2⁺ spins in a triangular lattice, are reported. The magnetic susceptibility and neutron scattering experiments of this material show no magnetic ordering down to 0.2K with a θ_CW=-55K. The magnetic specific heat reveals a T-linear dependence with a γ=43.4mJK^-2mol^-1 below 1.4K. These observations suggest that Ba₃CuSb₂O₉ is a new quantum spin liquid candidate with a S=1/2 triangular lattice.
