Abstract

We present ¹¹B nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements in superconductors Li₂(Pd,Pt)₃B without inversion symmetry. In Li₂Pd₃B, the spin lattice relaxation rate 1/T ₁ shows a well-defined coherence peak below T_c, and follows an exponential temperature variation exp(-Δ/k_BT) at low temperatures. At a magnetic field of 1.46 T, the energy gap Δ was found to be 1.1k_BT_c, but it recovers to 1.5k_BT _c at a field of 0.44 T, which is quite close to the value 1.75k _BT_c for a weak coupling BCS superconductor. This behavior is in contrast to that found in Li₂Pt₃B where 1/T ₁ is proportional to T³, and the difference between the two compounds is ascribed to the different strength of spin orbit coupling.
