ORAL

Abstract

Recently new filled-skutterudite compounds SrT4As12 (T = Fe, Ru, Os) have been synthesized, which provides a new opportunity of systematic studies of the effects of different d electron of 3d, 4d and 5d in the systems [1]. Motivated by the recent observation of ferromagnetic spin correlations in the 3d compound SrFe4As12 [2], we have carried out nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements to investigate the role of magnetic fluctuations in the newly discovered superconductor 5d-compound SrOs4As12 which exhibits a superconducting transition at Tc = 4.8 K [3]. From the temperature dependence of Knight shift K and nuclear spin lattice relaxation time T1, we found that no obvious ferromagnetic spin correlations in SrOs4As12. Furthermore, the temperature dependence of 1/T1 in the superconducting state evidences a conventional s-wave superconductivity in SrOs4As12.
