Description
is the Dirac line-nodal material that exhibits a superconducting (SC) transition at 1.7 K. In spite of its conventional SC state at ambient pressure, the transition temperature shows a peak structure against hydrostatic pressure. We performed ac magnetic susceptibility and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurements on single-crystalline under pressures up to 2.08 GPa. monotonically increased in this pressure region, which is consistent with a previous study. We observed continuous broadening of the NQR spectrum against pressure, which is a sign of unique compression behavior of the lattice. In the normal state, the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate is proportional to temperature in all pressure values, typical of a metal. However, in the normal state is independent of pressure, indicating that the density of states at the Fermi energy , which is one of the parameters governing , is insensitive to pressure. From these results, we conclude that does not govern the origin of the enhancement in . This is unusual for a weak electron-phonon coupling superconductor. In the SC state, we revealed that the SC gap becomes larger and more isotropic under pressure.
