Enhancement of electron correlations and spin density wave fluctuations of the organic superconductor λ − ( B E T S ) 2 Ga Cl 4 under pressure proved by C 13 NMR

2021 
We performed $^{13}\mathrm{C}$ NMR measurements on an organic superconductor $\ensuremath{\lambda}\text{\ensuremath{-}}{(\mathrm{B}\mathrm{E}\mathrm{T}\mathrm{S})}_{2}\mathrm{Ga}{\mathrm{Cl}}_{4}$ [BETS: bis(ethylenedithio)tetraselenafulvalene] to investigate the pressure effect on the spin density wave (SDW) fluctuations at low temperatures, which were observed at ambient pressure. We found that the spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature $(1/{T}_{1}T)$ is significantly enhanced at low temperatures at 3 kbar, implying enhancement of the SDW fluctuation. When further pressure is applied, increase in $1/{T}_{1}T$ at low temperatures is suppressed and $1/{T}_{1}T$ becomes temperature independent, indicating the Fermi liquid state. Moreover, we revealed that the Korringa factor under pressure becomes double compared to its value at ambient pressure, suggesting a significant change in electron correlation. We discuss the effect of the SDW fluctuation and the electron correlation on the unconventional superconductivity.
