We have investigated a set of sodium cobaltates (NaxCoO2) samples with various sodium content (0.67 le x le 0.75) using Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR). The four different stable phases and an intermediate one have been recognized. The NQR spectra of 59Co allowed us to clearly differentiate the pure phase samples which could be easily distinguished from multi-phase samples. Moreover, we have found that keeping samples at room temperature in contact with humid air leads to destruction of the phase purity and loss of sodium content. The high sodium content sample evolves progressively into a mixture of the detected stable phases until it reaches the x=2/3 composition which appears to be the most stable phase in this part of phase diagram.
We have synthesized and characterized four different stable phases of Na ordered Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$, for $0.65<x<0.8$. Above 100 K they display similar Curie-Weiss susceptibilities as well as ferromagnetic $q=0$ spin fluctuations in the CoO$_{2}$ plan
Crystallographic, magnetic and NMR properties of a NaxCoO2 single crystal with x~1 are presented. We identify the stoichiometric Na1CoO2 phase, which is shown to be a non-magnetic insulator, as expected for homogeneous planes of Co3+ ions with S=0. I
New electronic phases have been identified and placed in the (T,H) phase diagram of metallic NaxCoO2. At low Na-content (x = 0.36), the magnetic susceptibility diverges with a power law T^(-n), n<1, and shows (T,H) scaling, indicating the proximity t
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 about the
Density functional theory (DFT) within the local density approximation (LDA) is used to understand the electronic properties of Na1/3CoO2 and Na1/3CoO2(H2O)4/3, which was recently found to be superconducting1. Comparing the LDA charge density of CoO2
