⁷⁵As and ¹³⁹La NMR and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies on Zn-substituted LaFeAsO₀.₈₅ have been performed to investigate the Zn-impurity effects microscopically. Although superconductivity in LaFeAsO₀.₈₅ disappears by 3% Zn substitution, we found that NMR/NQR spectra and NMR physical quantities in the normal state are hardly changed, indicating that the crystal structure and electronic states are not modified by Zn substitution. Our results suggest that the suppression of superconductivity by Zn substitution is not due to the change of the normal-state properties, but due to strong non-magnetic pair-breaking effect to superconductivity.
