Abstract
We report Cd nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Re nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on , the first superconductor among pyrochlore oxides . The Re NQR spectrum at zero magnetic field below 100 K rules out any magnetic or charge order. The spin-lattice relaxation rate below exhibits a pronounced coherence peak and follows the weak-coupling BCS theory with nearly isotropic energy gap. The results of Cd NMR point to a moderate ferromagnetic enhancement at high temperatures followed by a rapid decrease of the density of states below the structural transition temperature of 200 K.
