The organic Mott insulator EtMe 3 Sb [Pd (dmit) 2] 2 is a 1/2-spin system on a nearly-regular triangular lattice. It does not show classical antiferromagnetic ordering in spite of strong antiferromagnetic exchange interactions J= 220–250 K, and thus it is regarded as a spin liquid material. We have found that (T 1 T)− 1 of this spin liquid state shows a peak at around 1 K and after that (T 1 T)− 1 decreases on cooling. This is not attributed to slowing down of the spin dynamics because T 2− 1 does not show any enhancement down to low temperature limit. Therefore, the decrease of (T 1 T)− 1 is attributed to disappearance of spin excitations, suggesting that magnetic excitations acquire an energy gap at least in some portion of q-space. This indicates that the ground state of the present spin-liquid material is not a state with spinon Fermi surface, where magnetic excitations are fully gapless and thus (T 1 T)− 1 does not decrease down to low temperature limit.
