11B NMR measurements have been performed on rare earth ternary borides,
YRuB2, LuRuB2 and (Tm0.4Y0.6)RuB2 to investigate their electronic states. From the measurements of
temperature dependence of spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T1,
YRuB2 and LuRuB2 are found to be Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superconductors with the energy gap 2Δ(0)=3.52
kBTc and the superconducting transition temperatures
Tc=7.6 K (YRuB2) and 10.2 K (LuRuB2). A very broad and temperature dependent spectrum is observed in
(Tm0.4Y0.6)RuB2. The
magnitude of 1/T1 T is considerably larger in
(Tm0.4Y0.6)RuB2 than in YRuB2 and
LuRuB2. These facts suggest the contribution of 4¦ electrons to the hyperfine field at
11B nuclei in (Tm0.4Y0.6)RuB2.
