| contents | SrIrO$_3$ is a metallic complex oxide with unusual electronic and magnetic properties believed to originate from electron correlations due to its proximity to Mott metal-insulator transition. However, the nature of its electronic state and the mechanism of metallic conduction remain poorly understood. We demonstrate that shot noise produced by nanoscale SrIrO$_3$ junctions is strongly suppressed, inconsistent with diffusive quasiparticle transport. Analysis of thermal effects and scaling with the junction length reveals that conduction is mediated by collective hopping of electrons almost localized by correlations. Our results provide insight into the non-Fermi liquid state close to Mott transition, and advance shot noise measurements as a powerful technique for the studies of quantum materials. |
