We have performed Co 2p X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) on a mixed valence hexagonal layered system NaCo 2 O 4, which shows large thermopower and metallic conductivity. We also measured XAS for SrCoO 3 and LaCoO 3 as examples of typical Co ionic states. The Co ions of the last two materials are octahedrally surrounded by oxygen atoms. A Co atom in NaCo 2 O 4 also has octahedral coordination with oxygen atoms but it is distorted slightly. The Co ions in SrCoO 3 and LaCoO 3 are in the d5 and d6 configuration respectively. The spectrum of NaCo 2 O 4 resembles that of LaCoO 3 rather than that of SrCoO 3; the Co ions in NaCo 2 O 4 can be regarded as the d6 configuration. Also, we have tried to calculate the XAS spectra by using the charge-transfer multiplet model (CT-M). Although we could not find out the best-fitting parameters, the results suggested the itinerancy of the Co 3d states.

EXAFS (Extended X-ray Absorption Fine Structure) and XANES (X-Ray Absorption Near Edge Structure) spectroscopies have been used to probe the local bonding of the artificially layered superconducting (BaCuO2)2/(CaCuO2)n (n = 2, 3, 4) superlattices. Fluorescence-yield measurements have been performed above the Cu and Ba K-edges. This study shows that the charge reservoir (CR) block of the Ba/Ca superlattice contains oxygen vacancies randomly distributed in the CuO2 planes and that the two apical oxygen atoms are displaced out of the Ba plane giving rise to buckled BaO planes. These oxygen atoms have a distorted pyramidal and octahedral coordination around Cu at Ba/Ca interface and in the (BaCuO2) block, respectively.
