Local electric state of noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo3Al2C revealed by Mo NQR and NMR experiments

Mo nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements were performed on a noncentrosymmetric superconductor Mo3Al2C to investigate the local electronic state at Mo nuclei, which carries the electrons responsible for superconductivity. The NQR frequency, which is linked to the electric field gradient at Mo site, was determined from 95Mo NMR spectrum and the result was verified by the independent 97Mo NQR measurement. The experimentally obtained value is compared to the result of a point charge calculation to extract the EFG induced by conduction electrons and reveal the local electronic state.
