In the phase diagram of unconventional superconductors,such as cuprate oxide superconductors,iron-based superconductors,heavy fermions superconduc-tors,superconductivity is always accompanied by structural transition,magnetic transition,charge density waves or other phase transition.In some case,the tran-sition temperature of structural transition or magnetic transition can be tune to zero by pressure,doping,magnetic field or uniaxial stress,the quantum critical fluctuations accompanied by zero temperature transition are considered as key factors for the occurrence of superconductivity.Firstly,this thesis explains the basic principle and method of nuclear mag-netic resonance.In second part,I report the NMR results on(Sr1-xCax)3Ir4Sn13and isostructure Ca3Rh4Sn13.For(Sr1-xCax)3Ir4Sn13,structural phase transition will occur with decreasing temperature,which can be seen obviously by NMR data.I find a characteristic temperature T*above structural phase transition temperature Ts,FWHM of NMR spectra,Knight shift K and spin-lattice relax-ation rate?1/T1T?become abnormal below this characteristic temperature.By contrast,Ca3Rh4Sn13doesn't occur structural phase transition,also doesn't exist T*.By analysing Korringa coefficient of four samples,I found antiferromagnetic fluctuation begin to appear below T*and become more obviously at low temper-ature.Based on these data,I construct the phase diagram of(Sr1-xCax)3Ir4Sn13and Ca3Rh4Sn13.My results provide new insight into the relationship between structural phase transition and superconductivity.In third part,I introduce re-sults of ferromagnetic?FM?quantum criticality in A2Cr3As3(A=Na,Na0.75K0.25,K,Rb)by 75As nuclear quadrupole resonance.Based on four sample's 1/T1T,we conclude the system gradually close to FM quantum critical point?QCP?from Na to Rb.This may be ascribed to the Cr2-As2-Cr2 bond angle that decreases towards 90?,which enhances the FM interaction via the Cr2-As2-Cr2 path.Upon moving away from the QCP,the superconducting transition temperature Tcin-creases progressively up to 8.0 K in Na2Cr3As3,which is in sharp contrast to the AFM case where Tcusually shows a maximum around a QCP.Using Moriya's 3D ferromagnetic fluctuation theory fitting my 1/T1T data,I get parameter?which characterizes the magnitude of FM fluctuation.?or R characterizes the exchange interaction.Based on these,we construct phase diagram of A2Cr3As3.Under su-perconducting state,1/T1decreases rapidly below Tcwith no Hebel-Slichter peak for four samples,and ubiquitously follows a T5variation below a characteristic temperature T*?0.6Tc,which indicates the existence of point nodes in the su-perconducting gap function commonly in the family.These results suggest that the A2Cr3As3family is a possible solid-state analog of superfluid3He.
