Abstract
Recently discovered class of cobaltate superconductors (Na0.3CoO2.nH2O) is a novel realization of interacting quantum electron systems in a triangular network with low-energy degrees of freedom. We employ angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to uncover the nature of microscopic electron motion in the parent superconductors for the first time. Results reveal a large hole-like Fermi surface (consistent with Luttinger theorem) generated by the crossing of super-heavy quasiparticles. The measured quasiparticle parameters collectively suggest a two orders of magnitude departure from the conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer electron dynamics paradigm and unveils cobaltates as a rather hidden class of relatively high temperature superconductors.
