47/49Ti and 139La NMR studies on Mott transition in La1-xSrxTiO3
Physica C in press.
Abstruct
Carrier doping effects on electronic correlations in La1-xSrxTiO3 have been investigated by 47/49Ti and 139La NMR. The increases of nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates, (T1T)-1, of both La and Ti provide the critical enhancements of effective carrier mass on approaching the Mott transition phase boundary from the metallic side. We have no evidences for a prominent increase of antiferromagnetic spin fluctuations at q〜Q near the Mott-transition boundary, which is sharply contrast to the case of high-TC cuprates.
