A weak magnetic order was found in a nonsuperconducting bilayered-hydrate NaxCoO2·yH2O sample by Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) measurement. The nuclear spin–lattice relaxation rate divided by temperature 1⁄T1T shows a prominent peak at 5.5 K, below which a Co NQR peak splits due to an internal field at the Co site. From the analyses of the Co NQR spectrum at 1.5 K, the internal field is evaluated to be ∼300 Oe and found to be in the ab-plane. The magnitude of the internal field suggests that the ordered moment is as small as ∼0.015μB using the hyperfine coupling constant reported previously. It is shown that the NQR frequency νQ correlates with magnetic fluctuations from measurements of NQR spectra and 1⁄T1T in various samples. The higher-νQ sample has stronger magnetic fluctuations. A possible phase diagram for NaxCoO2·yH2O is depicted using Tc and νQ, in which the crystal distortion along the c-axis of the tilted CoO2 octahedron is considered to be a physical parameter. Superconductivity with the highest Tc is seemingly observed in the vicinity of a magnetic phase, suggesting strongly that magnetic fluctuations play an important role in the occurrence of superconductivity.
