Y. Furukawa et al., NMR-STUDY ON A METAL-INSULATOR-TRANSITION IN OXYSULFIDES (LA1-XCAXO)CU1-XNIXS, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 1105-1106
We have investigated electronic states of (La1-xCaxO)Cu1-xNixS using C
u-63 and La-139 nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The relaxation proce
ss of Cu-63 is confirmed to be quadrupole process for x=0, while the m
agnetic process dominates in x=0.1 at low temperature (T). Cu-63 spin-
lattice relaxation time T-1 in x=0.1 at low T roughly follows the Korr
inga-like relation of T1T=similar to 50 (sK), suggesting that the syst
em is in a metallic state.
