We report a systematic study of the $c$ lattice parameter in the Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ phases versus Na content $x>0.5$, in which sodium always displays ordered arrangements. This allows us to single out the first phase which exhibits an AF magnetic order at a Neel temperature $T_{N}=$22 K which is found to occur for $xapprox 0.77(1)$. Pure samples of this phase have been studied both as aligned powders and single crystals. They exhibit identical $^{23}$Na NMR spectra in which three sets of Na sites could be fully resolved, and are found to display $T$ dependencies of their NMR shifts which scale with each other. This allows us to establish that the $T$ variation of the shifts is due to the paramagnetism of the Co sites with formal charge state larger than 3$^{+}$. The existence of a sodium site with axial charge symmetry and the intensity ratio between the sets of $^{23}$Na lines permits us to reveal that the 2D structure of the Na order corresponds to 10 Na sites on top of a 13 Co sites unit cell, that is with $x=10/13approx 0.77$. This structure fits with that determined from local density calculations and involves triangles of 3 Na sites located on top of Co sites (so called Na1 sites). The associated ordering of the Na vacancies is quite distinct from that found for $x<0.75$.

We prove the direct link between low temperature magnetism and high temperature sodium ordering in NaxCoO2 using the example of a heretofore unreported magnetic transition at 8 K which involves a weak ferromagnetic moment. The 8 K feature is characte
rized in detail and its dependence on a diffusive sodium rearrangement around 200 K is demonstrated. Applying muons as local probes this process is shown to result in a reversible phase separation into distinct magnetic phases that can be controlled by specific cooling protocols. Thus the impact of ordered sodium Coulomb potential on the CoO2 physics is evidenced opening new ways to experimentally revisit the NaxCoO2 phase diagram.
Single crystals of sodium cobaltates Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ with $x approx 0.8$ were grown by the floating zone technique. Using electrochemical Na de-intercalation method we reduced the sodium content in the as-grown crystals down to pure phase with 22 K
Neel temperature and $x approx 0.77$. The $^{59}$Co NMR study in the paramagnetic state of the $T_{N}=22$ K phase permitted us to evidence that at least 6 Co sites are differentiated. They could be separated by their magnetic behaviour into three types: a single site with cobalt close to non-magnetic Co$^{3+}$, two sites with the most magnetic cobalts in the system, and the remaining three sites displaying an intermediate behaviour. This unusual magnetic differentiation calls for more detailed NMR experiments on our well characterized samples.
We report results of 23Na and 75As nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments on a self-flux grown high-quality single crystal of stoichiometric NaFeAs. The NMR spectra revealed a tetragonal to twinned-orthorhombic structural phase transition at T_
O = 57 K and an antiferromagnetic (AF) transition at T_AF = 45 K. The divergent behavior of nuclear relaxation rate near T_AF shows significant anisotropy, indicating that the critical slowing down of stripe-type AF fluctuations are strongly anisotropic in spin space. The NMR spectra at low enough temperatures consist of sharp peaks showing a commensurate stripe AF order with a small moment sim 0.3 muB. However, the spectra just below T_AF exhibits highly asymmetric broadening pointing to an incommensurate modulation. The commensurate-incommensurate crossover in NaFeAs shows a certain similarity to the behavior of SrFe2As2 under high pressure.
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
o a magnetic quantum phase transition. At high Na contents (x = 0.6) the mass of the quasiparticles does never diverge, but renormalizes and becomes strongly field dependent at low temperatures, forming a heavy Fermi-Liquid. Our results make superconducting NaxCoO2 a clear candidate for magnetically mediated pairing.
We present our NMR studies of double-layer hydrated cobalt oxides NaxCoO2-yH2O (x ~ 0.35, y ~ 1.3) with various Tc = 0 - 4.8 K and magnetic transition temperatures. High-resolution $^{1}$H NMR spectrum served as an evidence for the existence of H$_{3
}$O$^{+}$ oxonium ions. $^{23}$Na nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rates served to detect local field fluctuations sensitive to Tc. $^{59}$Co nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectra served to classify the various Tc samples. From the classification by $^{59}$Co NQR frequency, the double-layer hydrated compounds were found to have two superconducting phases closely located to a magnetic phase. In the normal state and at a magnetic field in the $ab$-plane, two $^{59}$Co NMR signals with different Knight shifts and different $^{59}$Co nuclear spin-lattice relaxation times $^{59}T_{1}$ were observed. The two $^{59}$Co NMR signals suggest magnetic disproportionation of two Co sites or in-plane (XY) anisotropy of a single Co site. Non Korringa behavior and power law behavior in zero-field NQR 1/$^{59}T_{1}$ above and below Tc suggest non-Fermi liquid and unconventional superconductivity.
