摘要
We report results of nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) experiments on the Re sites in the pyrochlore superconductor Cd2Re2O7. A discontinuous change of the NQR spectrum was observed near T-s2 = 120 K, confirming the first-order structural transition in addition to the already known second-order transition at T-s1 = 200 K. The spin-lattice relaxation rate at the Re sites shows a steep increase above T-s2, in contrast to the reported results for the Cd sites, suggesting changes of orbital fluctuations.
