Abstract
The authors report NMR spin-lattice relaxation rates 1/ and Knight shifts in the quasi-two-dimensional organic superconductor κ-(ETCu[N(CN]Br (=11.6 K), for an aligned single crystal. The normal-state behavior is reminiscent of the high- cuprates, in which antiferromagnetic fluctuations and spin-gap behavior dominate. In the superconducting state, the data rule out the BCS electron-phonon mechanism as the source of the superconductivity, but support an unconventional pairing state with possible nodes in the gap function.
