Measurements of dc magnetization ($M$) and electrical resistivity ($\rho$) have been carried out as a function of temperature ($T$) for layered oxide Li$_{\rm x}$CoO$_2$ (0.51$\leq$$x$$\leq$1.0) using single crystal specimens. After slow…

We have measured the intricate temperature dependence of the Co L2,3 x-ray absorption spectra (2p-3d excitations) of CoO. To allow for accurate total electron yield measurements, the material has been grown in thin film form on a metallic…

Electron energy loss (EEL) spectra have been obtained on materials with the nominal compositions of Na0.33CoO2_yH2O (y = 0, 0.6 and 1.3). Spectral analyses revealed systematic changes in the low-loss energy region (< 10eV) and the core…

Measurements of electrical resistivity ($\rho$), DC magnetization ($M$) and specific heat ($C$) have been performed on layered oxide Li$_x$CoO$_2$ (0.25$\leq$$x$$\leq$0.99) using single crystal specimens. The $\rho$ versus temperature ($T$)…

We performed Cu {\it K}-edge X-ray absorption fine structure measurements on T'-type La$_{1.8}$Eu$_{0.2}$CuO$_4$ (LECO) and Nd$_2$CuO$_4$ (NCO) to investigate the variation in the electronic state associated with the emergence of…
