| Research Abstract |
We have grown polycrystal samples of non-centrosymmetric superconductors Li_2(Pt_<1-x> Pd_x)_3B and studied the evolution of the superconducting state by NMR. We found that the superconducting state changes abruptly at x~ 0. 8. By analyzing the crystal structure, we found that the Pt(Pd) B_6 tilts abruptly beyond x~ 0. 8, which enhances the spin-orbit coupling and is responsible for the change in the superconducting state properties. We have also studied other non-centrosymmetric superconductors such as Mg_10Ir_19B_16 and Re_7B_3. The results also suggest that the local structure distortion is effective in enhancing the degree of inversion symmetry-breaking.
