Abstract

We report As75-NMR results for CrAs under pressure, which shows superconductivity adjoining a helimagnetically ordered state. We successfully evaluated the Knight shift from the spectrum, which is strongly affected by the quadrupole interaction. The Knight shift shows the remarkable feature that the uniform spin susceptibility increases toward low temperatures in the paramagnetic state. This is in sharp contrast to CrAs at ambient pressure, and also to cuprates and Fe pnictides, where antiferromagnetic correlations are dominant. Superconductivity emerges in CrAs under unique magnetic correlations, which probably originate in the three-dimensional zigzag structure of its nonsymmorphic symmetry.
