Ca₃Ir₄Sn₁₃ was found to exhibit superconducting transition with T_c ≈ 7 K. It received considerable attention due to the possible coexistence of superconductivity and ferromagnetic spin fluctuation as well as the three-dimensional charge density wave (CDW) from the superlattice transition. [1,2] While thermal, transport, and thermodynamic characterization of Ca₃Ir₄Sn₁₃ single crystals suggest that it is a weakly correlated nodeless superconductor, recent µSR investigation reveals that the electron-phonon pairing interaction is in the strong-coupling limit. Here we present ¹¹⁹Sn NMR investigations on Ca₃Ir₄Sn₁₃ polycrystalline samples and discuss the symmetry of the superconducting order parameter together with the normal state properties. Our preliminary results of spin-lattice relaxation rate (1/T₁) indicate that this is a BCS superconductor with weak-coupling limit.
