Quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are exotic phases of matter formed by interacting quantum spins. QSLs are characterized by the absence of static magnetism and the existence of emergent fractional excitations. Recently, PbCuTe2O6 was discovered to be a rare QSL candidate with a three-dimensional spin structure. Here we report the thermal conductivity measurements of this compound down to about 50 mK and up to 16 T. Our results show evidence for the gapped spinons in PbCuTe2O6. Besides, the unusual field dependence of its low temperature thermal conductivity indicates the residual magnetic order is very sensitive to the external field.
