The infrared conductivity of Na$_x$CoO$_2$: evidence of gapped states

AbstractWe present infrared ab-plane conductivity data for the layered cobaltate Na$_x$CoO$_2$ for $x=0.25, 0.50$, and 0.75. The Drude weight increases monotonically with hole doping, $1-x$. At the lowest hole doping level 0.75 the system resembles the normal state of underdoped cuprate superconductors with a scattering rate that varies linearly with frequency and temperature and there is an onset of scattering by a bosonic mode at 600 cm$^{-1}$. Doping to both $x=0.50$ and 0.25 causes a gap to develop in the conductivity and the material becomes an insulator. The spectral weight lost in the gap region is shifted to prominent peaks. We suggest that the two gapped states are pinned charge ordered states.
