Abstract

63Cu nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) studies at room temperature were reported on six Nd-doped La2 − xSrxCuO4 samples. The NQR spectrum for La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 has a different line shape compared with those from the other samples, which is similar to the case of the insulating La2CuO4. This may suggest that the stripe fluctuations at such a special Nd and Sr doping fall into the frequency window of 63Cu NQR. The spectra of the other five samples were analysed by pairs of 63Cu and 65Cu Gaussians at A and B sites. The full width of half-maxim (FWHM) for 63Cu at B sites is anomalously large for La1.45Nd0.4Sr0.15CuO4, which was considered to be related to the stripe fluctuations.
