Here, we present ⁷⁷Se-NMR measurements on FeSe_1-xS_x samples with sulfur content x = 0 %, 9%, 15%, and 29 %. Twinned nematic domains are observed in the NMR spectrum for all samples except x = 29 % . The NMR spin-lattice relaxation rate shows that antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations are initially enhanced between x = 0 % and x = 9 % , but are strongly suppressed for higher x values. The observed behavior of the AFM fluctuations parallels the superconducting transition temperature T_c in these materials, providing strong evidence for the primary importance of AFM fluctuations for superconductivity, despite the presence of nematic quantum criticality in the FeSe_1-xS_x system.
