抄録

Pressure-induced superconductivity was studied for a spin-ladder cuprate Sr2Ca12Cu24O41 using nuclear magnetic resonance under pressures up to the optimal pressure 3.8 GPa. Pressure application leads to a transitional change from a spin-gapped state to a Fermi-liquid state at temperatures higher than Tc. The relaxation rate 1/ T1 shows activated-type behavior at an onset pressure, whereas Korringa-like behavior becomes predominant at the optimal pressure, suggesting that an increase in the density of states at the Fermi energy leads to enhancement of Tc. Nuclear quadrupole resonance spectra suggest that pressure application causes transfer of holes from the chain to the ladder sites. The transfer of holes increases DOS below the optimal pressure. A dome-shaped Tc versus pressure curve arises from naive balance between the transfer of holes and broadening of the band width.
