Abstract

We performed C13-NMR measurements on an organic superconductor λ−(BETS)2GaCl4 to investigate the superconducting (SC) gap symmetry, where BETS stands for bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene. As the temperature approaches 0 K, the Knight shift in the SC state decreases; the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1 shows cubic temperature dependence below the SC transition temperature Tc without a coherence peak. These results can be understood in terms of d-wave superconductivity. Moreover, an increase in 1/T1T at lower temperatures was observed just above Tc; this behavior can be interpreted as an effect of spin-density-wave (SDW) fluctuation. We suggest that the d-wave superconductivity of λ−(BETS)2GaCl4 originates from SDW fluctuation.
