Comment on " Low-Lying Quasiparticle States and Hidden Collective Charge Instabilities in Parent Cobaltate Superconductors"

Abstract

Qian et al [1] recently reported angular-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements for Na0.8CoO2 that show two concentric Fermi surfaces (FS) split by a delta k_F that varies by a factor of three around the Brillouin zone (BZ). The surfaces occupy 70+/-5% of the full 2D BZ and were interpreted as the bonding and antibonding splitting (BAS) of the a1g bands, with an unspecified effect of magnetic ordering. Below we show that this interpretation is not possible, and, in fact, no valid intepretation of the observed spectra in terms of the bulk electronic structure of Na0.8CoO2 can be found.
