This indicates that electron density distributions in $γ-Na_{x}CoO_{2}$ are slightly modulated with increasing x. In fact, there found to be the obvious overlapping of the charge density between O-O network and Co ions, but no significant overlapping with increasing x. This is the direct observation of decrease of covalency between O 2p and $Co t_{2g}$ in the $CoO_{2}$ layer with increasing the sodium content.}, pages = {2809--2812}, title = {Crystal structure, electric and magnetic properties in Nax$CoO_{2}$}, volume = {29}, year = {2004} }
