Superconductivity and Magnetic Fluctuations inCd2Re2O7via Cd Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Re Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance

Abstract
We report Cd nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Re nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on Cd2Re2O7, the first superconductor among pyrochlore oxides (Tc1K). The Re NQR spectrum at zero magnetic field below 100 K rules out any magnetic or charge order. The spin-lattice relaxation rate below Tc 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.
