We present the results of measurements of the dc-magnetic susceptibility chi(T) and the 23Na-NMR response of Na_{0.70}CoO_{2} at temperatures between 50 and 340 K. The chi(T) data suggest that for T > 75 K, the Co ions adopt an effective…

We propose a minimal model resolving a puzzle of enigmatic correlations observed in sodium-rich Na$_x$CoO$_2$ where one expects a simple, free motion of the dilute $S=1/2$ holes doped into a band insulator NaCoO$_2$. The model also predicts…

We present neutron scattering spectra taken from a single crystal of Na0.75CoO2, the precursor to a novel cobalt-oxide superconductor. The data contain a prominent inelastic signal at low energies (~10 meV), which is localized in wavevector…

We argue that the electronic structure considered in a Phys. Rev. Lett. paper 94 (2005) 146402 of the Co3+ ion in the CoO6 octahedron of NaxCoO2 is completely wrong. The presented Fig. 1 is redrawn here as Fig. 1. For physically adequate…

We report a ^{59}Co Knight shift measurement in a single crystal of the cobalt oxide superconductor Na_{x}CoO_2\cdot1.3H_2O (T_c=4.25 K). We find that the shift due to the spin susceptibility, K^s, is substantially large and anisotropic,…

Single-phase bulk samples of the "exotic" CoO2, the x = 0 phase of the AxCoO2 systems (A = Li, Na), were successfully synthesized through electrochemical de-intercalation of Li from pristine LiCoO2 samples. The samples of pure CoO2 were…

K$_x$CoO$_2$ shares many similarities with Na$_x$CoO$_2$, as well as some important differences (no hydration-induced superconductivity has been reported). At $T_{c2}$=20 K, K$_{0.5}$CoO$_2$ becomes an insulator with a tiny optical gap as…
