چکیده

Raman scattering experiments on NaxCoO2.yH2O single crystals show a broad electronic continuum with a pronounced peak around 100 cm(-1) and a cutoff at approximately 560 cm(-1) over a wide range of doping levels. The electronic Raman spectra in superconducting and nonsuperconducting samples are similar at room temperature, but evolve in markedly different ways with decreasing temperature. For superconducting samples, the low-energy spectral weight is depleted upon cooling below T* approximately 150 K, indicating the opening of a pseudogap that is not present in nonsuperconducting materials. Weak additional phonon modes observed below T* suggest that the pseudogap is associated with charge ordering.

Possible Pairing Symmetry of Superconductor

To discuss the possibility that the superconductivities in NaxCoO2·yH2O are induced by electron correlation, we investigate the possible pairing symmetry based on the single-band Hubbard model whose dispersion of the bare energy band is obtained using the band structure calculation of NaxCoO2·yH2O. The superconducting transition temperature is estimated by solving the Éliashberg equation. In th...

An Electronic Model for CoO2 layer based systems: Chiral RVB metal and Superconductivity

Takada et al. have reported superconductivity in layered NaxCoO2.yH2O (Tc ≈ 5 K) and more recently Wen et al. in AxCoO2+δ (A = Na, K)(Tc ≈ 31 K). We model a reference neutral CoO2 layer as an orbitally non-degenerate spin1 2 antiferromagnetic Mott insulator on a triangular lattice and NaxCoO2.yH2O and AxCoO2+δ as electron doped Mott insulators described by a tJ model. It is suggested that at op...
