Abstract

We performed C13 NMR measurements on an organic superconductor λ−(BETS)2GaCl4 [BETS: bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene] to investigate the pressure effect on the spin density wave (SDW) fluctuations at low temperatures, which were observed at ambient pressure. We found that the spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature (1/T1T) is significantly enhanced at low temperatures at 3 kbar, implying enhancement of the SDW fluctuation. When further pressure is applied, increase in 1/T1T at low temperatures is suppressed and 1/T1T becomes temperature independent, indicating the Fermi liquid state. Moreover, we revealed that the Korringa factor under pressure becomes double compared to its value at ambient pressure, suggesting a significant change in electron correlation. We discuss the effect of the SDW fluctuation and the electron correlation on the unconventional superconductivity.
