Abstract

We present dielectric properties of ceramic anhydrous Na 0.7CoO2 and the superconducting Na0.3CoO 2·1.3H2O materials. The presence of water which induces superconductivity also may increase the dielectric constant (ε) of the hydrated material. This is consistent with the predicted relationship between the high ε and the enhancement of Tc in high T c superconductors. The anhydrous sample is porous and the transport is due to some percolation via the pores. The porosity is much higher for the hydrated material and the transport is ionic inside bulk water.
