We probed the local electronic properties of the mixed-valent Co(+4-x) triangular-lattice in Na{x}CoO{2}-yH{2}O by 59-Co NMR. We observed two distinct types of Co sites for x>=1/2, but the valence seems averaged out for x~1/3. Local spin fluctuations exhibit qualitatively the same trend down to ~100 K regardless of the carrier-concentration x, and hence the nature of the electronic ground state. A canonical Fermi-liquid behavior emerges below ~100 K only for x~1/3.

We have utilized neutron powder diffraction to probe the crystal structure of layered Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ near the half doping composition of $x=$0.46 over the temperature range of 2 to 600K. Our measurements show evidence of a dynamic transition in th
e motion of Na-ions at 300K which coincides with the onset of a near zero thermal expansion in the in-plane lattice constants. The effect of the Na-ordering on the CoO$_{2}$ layer is reflected in the octahedral distortion of the two crystallographically inequivalent Co-sites and is evident even at high temperatures. We find evidence of a weak charge separation into stripes of Co$^{+3.5+epsilon}$ and Co$^{+3.5-epsilon}$, $epsilonsim0.06e$ below Tco=150K. We argue that changes in the Na(1)-O bond lengths observed at the magnetic transition at tm=88K reflect changes in the electronic state of the CoO$_{2}$ layer
We have synthesized various samples of the $x=2/3$ phase of sodium cobaltate Na$_{x}$CoO$_{2}$ and performed X-ray powder diffractions spectra to compare the diffraction with the structure proposed previously from NMR/NQR experiments [H. Alloul emph{
et al.}, EPL textbf{85}, 47006 (2009)]. Rietveld analysis of the data are found in perfect agreement with those, and confirm the concentration x=2/3 obtained in the synthesis procedure. They even give indications on the atomic displacements of Na inside the unit cell. The detailed NQR data allow us to identify the NQR transitions and electric field gradient (EFG) parameters for 4 cobalt sites and 3 Na sites. The spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation rates are found much smaller for the non-magnetic Co$^{3+}$ sites than for the magnetic sites on which the holes are delocalized. The atomic ordering of the Na layers is therefore at the source of this ordered distribution of cobalt charges. The method used here to resolve the Na ordering and the subsequent Co charge order can be used valuably for other concentrations of Na.
Combining symmetry based considerations with inputs from available experimental results, we make the case that a novel spin-triplet superconductivity triggered by antiferromagnetic fluctuations may be realized in the newly discovered layered cobaltid
e Na$_x$CoO$_{2}cdot y$H$_2$O. In the proposed picture, unaccessable via resonating-valence-bond physics extrapolated from half-filling, the pairing process is similar to that advanced for Sr$_{2}$RuO$_4$, but enjoys a further advantage coming from the hexagonal structure of the Fermi-surface which gives a stronger pairing tendency.
High-energy (h$ u$ = 5.95 keV) synchrotron Photoemission spectroscopy (PES) is used to study bulk electronic structure of Na$_{0.35}$CoO$_{2}$.1.3H$_{2}$O, the layered superconductor. In contrast to 3-dimensional doped Co oxides, Co $it{2p}$ core lev
el spectra show well-separated Co$^{3+}$ and Co$^{4+}$ ions. Cluster calculations suggest low spin Co$^{3+}$ and Co$^{4+}$ character, and a moderate on-site Coulomb correlation energy U$_{dd}sim$3-5.5 eV. Photon dependent valence band PES identifies Co $it{3d}$ and O $it{2p}$ derived states, in near agreement with band structure calculations.
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
es revealed by $^{23}$Na NMR data. In all phases from $^{59}$Co NMR data we display evidences that the Co disproportionate already above 300 K into non magnetic Co$^{3+}$ and magnetic $approx $Co$^{3.5+}$ sites on which holes delocalize. This allows us to understand that metallic magnetism is favored for these large Na contents. Below 100 K the phases differentiate, and a magnetic order sets in only for $xgtrsim 0.75$ at $T_{N}=$22 K. We suggest that the charge order also governs the low $T$ energy scales and transverse couplings.
