Multigap superconductivity in locally noncentrosymmetric SrPtAs: An ⁷⁵As nuclear quadrupole resonance investigation

We report detailed ⁷⁵As nuclear quadrupole resonance investigations of the locally noncentrosymmetric superconductor SrPtAs. The spin-lattice relaxation studies prove weakly coupled multigap superconductivity. A retardation of the decay in 1/T₁T evidences a nodeless (fully gapped) superconducting state on the complex multipocket Fermi surface, which is consistent with an anisotropic s-wave order parameter and with proposed unconventional f-wave and chiral d-wave symmetries. A quantitative analysis of these models favors the unconventional f-wave state.
