Abstract

The C13 nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate, 13T1−1, has been measured in the superconducting state of κ-(BEDT-TTF)2Cu[N(CN)2]Br in a field parallel to the conducting layers. The 13T1−1 exhibits an abrupt decrease just below the transition temperature without any indication of the Hebel-Slichter coherence peak. By separation of the vortex-dynamics contribution to 13T1−1 with the use of NMR1, the quasiparticle contribution to 13T1−1 is found to follow a T3 law that is consistent with unconventional superconductivity with line nodes in gap parameter on the Fermi surface or highly anisotropic superconductivity. © 1996 The American Physical Society.
