Abstract

We have performed high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on M x CoO 2 (M: Na, K, Rb) to clarify the band dispersion and Fermi surface inherent to CoO 2 plane. We have found that a 1 g band which forms a large hexagonal Fermi surface centered at Γ (A) point shows a dispersion kink at approximately 100 meV binding energy, irrespective of the species of alkali metals and its content ( x). We discuss the origin of kink in the dispersion in terms of the strong mass renormalization due to electron–phonon interaction and/or the hybridization of a 1 g and e g ′ bands.
