摘要
We report on a Raman scattering study of the superconducting cobaltite Na(x)CoO(2)(.)yH(2)O as function of Na content and hydration (x approximate to 1/3, 3/4 and y approximate to 0, 2/3, 4/3). The observed scattering intensity is analysed in terms of lattice strain, structural misfit and disorder. Hydration, due to the intercalation of one or two H2O layers, releases a part of this strain. Our Raman data suggest a connection between disorder on the partly occupied Na sites and the narrow phase space of superconductivity.
