Abstract

The relationship between charge density wave (CDW) orders and superconductivity in arsenide superconductor SrPtAs with = 5.2 K which crystallizes in the CaBeGe-type structure was studied by As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements up to 520 K, and As nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) and Pt-NMR measurements down to 1.5 K. At high temperature, As-NMR spectrum and nuclear spin relaxation rate () have revealed two distinct CDW orders, one realized in the As-Pt-As layer below 410 K and the other in the Pt-As-Pt layer below 255 K. The measured by As-NQR shows a clear Hebel-Slichter peak just below and decreases exponentially well below . Concomitantly, Pt Knight shift decreases below . Our results indicate that superconductivity in SrPtAs is in the spin-singlet state with an -wave gap and is robust under the two distinct CDW orders in different layers.
