We report the growth and the characterization of single crystals of the S=1/2 spin-dimer compound Pb2V3O9. Magnetic-susceptibility, torque magnetometry, heat-capacity, and muon-spin-relaxation measurements provide evidence for a field-induced Bose-Einstein condensate of magnons in this system. At low temperatures, the field-dependent phase boundary between the dimerized and the condensed state is well described by the expression T*\u3b1(H\u2212Hc1)1/\u3c6, with \u3c6 =(2.00\ub10.04).Peer reviewed: YesNRC publication: Ye
