Abstract

We report the ¹¹B NMR measurements in non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li₂(Pd_1-xPt_x)₃B (x=0.0,0.2,0.5,1.0),Mg_9.3Ir₁₉B_16.7 and Mg _10.5Ir₁₉B_17.1. In Li₂(Pd _1-xPt_x)₃B, BCS superconducting state for x=0-0.5 evolves into an exotic state with line nodes in the gap function for x=1, which is attributed to the enhanced spin-orbit coupling due to heavy element Pt. In Mg_9.3Ir₁₉B_16.7 and Mg _10.5Ir₁₉B_17.1, Cooper pairs are predominantly in the spin-singlet state with an isotropic gap. However, in Mg _10.5Ir₁₉B_17.1 the spin susceptibility remains finite even in the zero-temperature limit, which is due to the defects that enhance the spin-orbit coupling and bring about more spin-triplet component.
