dc.description.abstract | Since the high $T_c$ superconductivity was discovered in iron pnictides in 2008, the interplay between the reduced dimensionality, magnetism and unconventional superconductivity has been attracting renewed interest. Recently, Bao et al. and Tang et al. discovered a series of quasi-one-dimensional (quasi 1D) superconductors: \K($T_c=6.1 K$), \Rb($T_c=4.8 K$), and \Cs($T_c=2.2 K$). In this thesis, we will discuss microscopic investigation of \Cs based on nuclear magnetic resonance techniques. The first chapter is a brief introduction to this series of superconductors. The second chapter is a summary of NMR techniques and theory. In the third part, I summarize $^{133}$Cs NMR and $^{75}$As Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) measurements on a powder sample of \Cs ($T_c < 1.6$~K). From the $^{133}$Cs NMR Knight shift $^{133}K$ measured at the Cs1 site, we show that the uniform spin susceptibility $\chi_{spin}$ increases from 295~K to $\sim$ 60~K, followed by a mild suppression; $\chi_{spin}$ then levels off below $\sim$10~K. Low frequency Cr spin dynamics, reflected on $^{75}$As $1/T_1T$ (the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $1/T_1$ divided by temperature $T$), shows an analogous trend as $\chi_{spin}$. Comparison with the results of $1/T_1T$ near $T_c$ with \K($T_c=6.1$~K) and \Rb($T_c=4.8$~K) establishes a systematic trend that substitution of K$^{+}$ ions with larger alkali ions progressively suppresses Cr spin fluctuations together with $T_c$. | en_US |
