The 12%-S doped FeSe system has a high Tc of 30 K at a pressure of 3.0 GPa. We have successfully investigated its microscopic properties for the first time via $^{77}$Se-NMR measurements under pressure. The antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations at the optimal pressure (~3 GPa) exhibited unexpected suppression compared with the AFM fluctuations at ambient pressure, even though the optimal pressure is close to the phase boundary of the AFM phase induced at the high-pressure region. In addition, we revealed that the SC phase at an applied field of 6.02 T exhibited a remarkable double-dome structure in the pressure-temperature phase diagram, unlike the SC phase at zero field.

A number of recent experiments indicate that the iron-chalcogenide FeSe provides the long-sought possibility to study bulk superconductivity in the cross-over regime between the weakly coupled Bardeen--Cooper--Schrieffer (BCS) pairing and the strongly coupled Bose--Einstein condensation (BEC). We report on $^{77}$Se nuclear magnetic resonance experiments of FeSe, focused on the superconducting phase for strong magnetic fields applied along the $c$ axis, where a distinct state with large spin polarization was reported. We determine this high-field state as bulk superconducting with high spatial homogeneity of the low-energy spin fluctuations. Further, we find that the static spin susceptibility becomes unusually small at temperatures approaching the superconducting state, despite the presence of pronounced spin fluctuations. Taken together, our results clearly indicate that FeSe indeed features an unusual field-induced superconducting state of a highly spin-polarized Fermi liquid in the BCS-BEC crossover regime.
We conducted $^{77}$Se-nuclear magnetic resonance studies of the iron-based superconductor FeSe in magnetic fields of 0.6 to 19 T to investigate the superconducting and normal-state properties. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate divided by the temperature $(T_1T)^{-1}$ increases below the structural transition temperature $T_mathrm{s}$ but starts to be suppressed below $T^*$, well above the superconducting transition temperature $T_mathrm{c}(H)$, resulting in a broad maximum of $(T_1T)^{-1}$ at $T_mathrm{p}(H)$. This is similar to the pseudogap behavior in optimally doped cuprate superconductors. Because $T^*$ and $T_mathrm{p}(H)$ decrease in the same manner as $T_mathrm{c}(H)$ with increasing $H$, the pseudogap behavior in FeSe is ascribed to superconducting fluctuations, which presumably originate from the theoretically predicted preformed pair above $T_mathrm{c}(H)$.
We performed $^{77}$Se-NMR measurements on FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_x$, ($x$ = 0.12) up to 3.0 GPa at an applied magnetic field of 6.02 T, and found that the superconducting (SC) phase exhibits a remarkable double-dome structure in the pressure($P$)-temperature($T$) phase diagram which is hidden at 0 T. From the relaxation rate $1/T_1$ divided by $T$, $1/T_1T$, a Lifshitz transition may occur at 1.0 GPa, and the dominant nesting vector could change due to topological changes in Fermi surfaces. In other words, two types of antiferromagnetic (AFM) fluctuations would exist in the $P-T$ phase diagram. We conclude that the SC double domes in 12%-S doped FeSe consist of two SC states each of which correlates to a different type of AFM fluctuation. Furthermore, the strong AFM fluctuation at ambient pressure could originate from a possible hidden AFM quantum critical point.
The effect of hydrostatic pressure (P) on charge density waves (CDW) in YBa2Cu3Oy has recently been controversial. Using NMR, we find that both the short-range CDW in the normal state and the long-range CDW in high fields are, at most, slightly weakened at P=1.9 GPa. This result is in contradiction with x-ray scattering results finding complete suppression of the CDW at ~1 GPa and we discuss possible explanations of this discrepancy. Quantitative analysis, however, shows that the NMR data is not inconsistent with a disappearance of the CDW on a larger pressure scale, typically ~10-20 GPa. We also propose a simple model reconciling transport data with such a hypothesis, provided the pressure-induced change in doping is taken into account. We conclude that it is therefore possible that most of the spectacular increase in Tc upon increasing pressure up to ~15~GPa arises from a concomitant decrease of CDW strength.
We report the results of a ^63Cu and ^17O NMR study of the nuclear quadrupole interaction tensor, ^(17,63)nu_{Q,alpha}, in the hole doped spin ladder system Sr_(14-x)Ca_xCu_24O_41 (x = 0 and 12) performed under ambient and high pressures. NMR data show that the hole density in the Cu_2O_3 ladder layer grows with temperature, Ca content and an applied pressure. We have derived the hole occupation of Cu 3d and O 2p orbitals at the different ion sites in the Cu_2O_3 ladder as a function of the temperature, Ca substitution and pressure. We also suggest that the most important role of high pressure for the stabilization of a superconducting ground state in Ca-rich two-leg ladders is an increase of the hole concentration in the conducting Cu_2O_3 planes. We have obtained an estimate of 0.10 hole per Cu1 for the hole concentration at low temperature in Ca12 under 32 kbar when this compound undergoes a superconducting transition at 5K. Such a value fits fairly well with the doping phase diagram of cuprate superconductors.
