119Sn-NMR investigations on superconducting Ca 3Ir 4Sn 13: Evidence for multigap superconductivity
In this study, we report bulk superconductivity (SC) in Ca 3Ir 4Sn 13 by means of 119Sn nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments. Two classical signatures of BCS superconductivity in spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T 1), namely the Hebel–Slichter coherence peak just below the T c, and the exponential decay in the superconducting phase, are evident. The noticeable decrease of 119Sn Knight shift below T c indicates spin-singlet superconductivity. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate 119(1/T 1) is convincingly described by the multigap isotropic superconducting gap. NMR experiments do not witness any sign of enhanced spin fluctuations.
