Here we report an unconventional magnetic and transport phenomenon in a layered cobalt oxide, NaxCoO2. Only for x = 0.75, a magnetic transition of the second order was clearly detected at Tm ~ 22 K where an apparent specific-heat jump, an…
The results of DC magnetization measurements under hydrostatic (helium-gas) pressure are reported for an ambient pressure superconductor Na0.35CoO2.1.4D2O and its precursor compound, the gamma-phase Na0.75CoO2 that is known to combine a…
The incidence of topology on the band structure and physical properties of layered compounds has been extensively studied in semimetals. How those evolve in presence of electronic correlations has been less investigated so far. In the…
We report measurement of room-temperature compressibility, thermal expansion, thermoelectric power a(T) at various pressures P < 20 kbar, basal-plane resistivity rab (T), magnetic susceptibility and thermal conductivity k(T) taken on…
This is the first study of the effect of pressure on transition metal dichalcogenides intercalated by atoms that order magnetically. Co$_{1/3}$NbS$_2$ is a layered system where the intercalated Co atoms order antiferromagnetically at T$_N$…
We have performed thermal expansion and compressibility measurements on the recently discovered superconducting material NaxCoO2*4xD2O (x=1/3) using neutron powder diffraction over the temperature range 10-295 K and the pressure range 0-0.6…
Electronic properties of the sodium cobaltate NaxCoO2 are systematically studied through a precise control of band filling. Resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and specific heat measurements are carried out on a series of high-quality…
The effect of hydrostatic pressure on the superconducting transition temperature of Na{0.35}CoO{2}.yH{2}O was investigated by ac susceptibility measurements up to 1.6 GPa. The pressure coefficient of T{c} is negative and the dependence…
We report the electrical, magnetic and thermal measurements on a layered cobalt oxyhydrate Na$_{0.31}$CoO$_{2}\cdot$1.3H$_{2}$O. Bulk superconductivity at 4.3 K has been confirmed, however, the measured superconducting fraction is…
The specific heats of three samples of Na0.35CoO2,1.3H2O show an evolution of the superconductivity, and its ultimate disappearance, with increasing sample age. An overall increase in pair-breaking action, which occurs preferentially in an…
Various samples of sodium cobalt oxyhydrate with relatively large amounts of Na$^{+}$ ions were synthesized by a modified soft-chemical process in which a NaOH aqueous solution was added in the final step of the procedure. From these…
We report neutron powder diffraction measurements on a series of NaxCoO2 samples with x near 0.75 which were prepared under different synthesis conditions. Two different crystal structures for the samples are observed at room temperature.…
Nickel substitution at the cobalt site in NaxCoO2 induces a Metal Insulator Transition (MIT) and the temperature at which this occurs (TMIT) increases with Ni content. Low temperature far infrared measurements on polycrystalline samples of…
We report on the effect of Ni substitution at the Co site on the physical properties of NaxCoO2 system by investigating the series NaxCo1-yNiyO2 (x=0.75, 0<y<0.15). An upturn in the resistivity is observed in all Ni substituted samples as…
A 59Co NMR study of CoO2, the x=0 end member of AxCoO2 (A = Na, Li...) cobaltates, reveals a metallic ground state, though with clear signs of strong electron correlations: low-energy spin fluctuations develop at wave vectors q different…
We investigate the electronic states of the CoO_2 plane in the layered cobalt oxides Na_{0.5}CoO_{2} using the realistic 11 band d-p model on a two-dimensional triangular lattice. Effects of the Coulomb interaction on a Co site: the intra-…
The study of the strength of correlations in Na$_x$CoO$_2$ is extended to the x=0 end of the phase diagram where Mott insulating behavior has been widely anticipated. Inclusion of correlation as modeled by the LDA+U approach leads to a Mott…
Na0.5CoO2 exhibits a metal-insulator transition at 53 K upon cooling. The nature of another transition at 88 K has not been fully clarified yet. We report the results of measurements of the electrical conductivity, the magnetic…
We report the in-plane resistivity and magnetic susceptibility of the layered cobalt oxide Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_{2}{\cdot}1.3$H$_{2}$O single crystal. The temperature dependence of the resistivity shows metallic behavior from room temperature to…
We investigate the electronic states and the transport properties of the CoO2 plane in NaxCoO2 on the basis of the two-dimensional triangular lattice 11-band d-p model by using the fluctuation exchange approximation, where we consider the…
