Abstract

We report infrared Hall conductivity σxy(ω)\sigma_{xy}(\omega) of Na0.7_{0.7}CoO2_2 thin films determined from Faraday rotation angle θF\theta_{F} measurements. σxy(ω)\sigma_{xy}(\omega) exhibits two types of hole conduction, Drude and incoherent carriers. The coherent Drude carrier shows a large renormalized mass and Fermi liquid-like behavior of Hall scattering rate, γHaT2\gamma_{H} \sim aT^{2}. The spectral weight is suppressed and disappears at T = 120K. The incoherent carrier response is centered at mid-IR frequency and shifts to lower energy with increasing T. Infrared Hall constant is positive and almost independent of temperature in sharp contrast with the dc-Hall constant.
