Abstract
The metal-nonmetal transition in liquid Cs-I solutions has been investigated by 133Cs and 127I NMR over the range from pure Cs to approximately CsI2. With increasing I concentrations in Cs, we observe a sharp decrease of the 133Cs Knight shift until for stoichiometric CsI and I-rich solutions only a small chemical shift is observed. 127I shifts indicate substantial penetration of conduction electron charge to the nuclei of I- ions in Cs-rich solutions. The 133Cs spin-lattice relaxation rates reveal a gradual breakdown of nearly-free-electron conditions and progressively stronger localization as I is added to Cs. Below a few per cent excess Cs in CsI the data indicate formation of localized states whose structure is analogous to F-centers.
