The quantum spin liquid is an exotic state of magnetic systems which shows no long-range order down to T = 0 K but instead exhibits persistent spin dynamics with highly entangled spins fluctuating between various degenerate configurations. A favourable route to realize this state is to use geometric frustrations for instance in 2D materials where the spins interact on top of a kagome lattice. In this study we present low-temperature thermodynamic measurements in various fields on the spin-liquid candidate system PbCuTe2O6 showing a Hyper-kagome lattice, a 3D adaptation of the 2D kagome lattice. First investigations on polycrystalline samples supported the spin-liquid character [1], whereas more recent studies revealed an even more exotic behaviour i.e. a ferroelectric phase transition around T = 1 K together with a diverging thermal Grüneisen parameter, indicating proximity to a quantum critical point [2]. Here we show that the magnetic Grüneisen parameter diverges as well, supporting zero-field-quantum-critical behaviour. Further focus of our investigations lies on the field dependence of the ferroelectric transition.
