Abstract
We report a comprehensive and nuclear magnetic resonance study on single crystals. The spin-lattice relaxation rate is drastically influenced by Sr doping at low temperatures. A detailed field dependence of at suggests that charge ordering induces the critical slowing down of spin fluctuations toward glassy spin order and competes with superconductivity. On the other hand, the relaxation rate is well described by a Curie-Weiss law at high temperatures, yielding the Curie-Weiss temperature as a function of doping. changes sharply through a critical hole concentration . appears to correspond to the delocalization limit of doped holes, above which the bulk nature of superconductivity is established.
