The quantum-spin-liquid (QSL) state shows interesting phenomena such as fractional spin excitations and spin entanglement. Here we investigate the spin-liquid-candidate system PbCuTe2O6 where antiferromagnetic interactions among s=1/2 spins lead to a 3D network of triangles similar to the hyper-Kagome lattice. While first experiments on polycrystalline samples, were found to be consistent with the QSL state [1], a recent study on single crystals showed a far more complex scenario including a ferroelectric transition at T = 1 K with strong lattice distortions and a quantum critical behaviour close to B = 0 T [2]. For the present study we combine thermodynamic, dielectric and magnetic experiments to investigate the field- and temperature phase diagram of PbCuTe2O6 for fields up to B=14.5 T parallel to the [110] direction. In addition to the ferroelectric state we find a structurally distorted phase which coincides with the ferroelectric state at low fields but splits above B=6 T as well as a long-range magnetically ordered phase for fields B>11 T. Based on our experimental results we discuss how the elastic, dielectric and magnetic degrees of freedom are coupled.
