| contents | The three-dimensional $S = {\frac{1}{2}}$ system Y$_{3}$Cu$_{2}$Sb$_{3}$O$_{14}$ consists of two inequivalent Cu$^{2+}$ sites, each forming an edge shared triangular lattice. Our magnetic susceptibility $χ(T)$, specific heat $C_p(T)$, $^{89}$Y nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), muon spin relaxation ($\upmu\mathrm{SR}$), and electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements on this system confirm the absence of any long-range magnetic ordering and the persistence of spin dynamics down to 0.077 K. In $^{89}$Y NMR we find an anomaly at about 120 K which we suggest arises from a fraction of the spins condensing into a singlet (a valence bond solid VBS) state. A plateau in the muon relaxation rate is observed between 60 K and 10 K (signifying the VBS state from a fraction of the spins) followed by an increase and another plateau below about 1 K (presumably signifying the quantum spin liquid state from all the spins). Our density functional theory calculations find a dominant antiferromagnetic interaction along the body diagonal with inequivalent Cu(1) and Cu(2) ions alternately occupying the corners of the cube. All other near-neighbour interactions between the Cu ions are also found to be antiferromagnetic and are thought to drive the frustration. |
