摘要
The perovskitelike transition-metal oxide Gd1-xSrxTiO3 is investigated by measurements of resistivity, specific-heat, and electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR). Approaching the metal-to-insulator transition from the metallic regime (x greater than or equal to0.2), the Sommerfeld coefficient gamma of the specific heat becomes strongly enhanced and the resistivity increases quadratically at low temperatures. which both are fingerprints of strong electronic correlations. The temperature dependence of the dynamic susceptibility, as determined from the Gd3+-EPR linewidth, signals the importance of strong spin fluctuations. as observed in heavy-fermion compounds.
