NMR/NQR, neutron scattering, and various other kinds of measurements have been carried out for hydrated Co oxides NaxCoO2·yH2O(or NaxCoO2·yD2O), and the mother system NaxCoO2by using both polycrystalline and single-crystal samples, to clarify the symmetry of the order parameter or the microscopic origin of the superconductivity (SC). The NMR Knight shifts are suppressed by the occurrence of the SC for both magnetic field directions, parallel and perpendicular to the CoO2planes, indicating that the Cooper pairs are in the singlet state. Inelastic neutron scattering data of Na0.44CoO2indicate the existence of weak spin fluctuations at Q points in the reciprocal space corresponding to both intra-plane and inter-plane magnetic correlations, while no indication of the ferromagnetic fluctuations has been detected in the inelastic scattering data taken for large single crystals of the superconducting NaxCoO2·yD2O. The magnetic structure determined in the magnetically ordered phase of Na0.5CoO2indicates that the magnetic correlation is basically antiferromagnetic within a CoO2plane. The rate of the Tc-suppression by non-magnetic impurities is too small to be explained by considering isotropic order parameters. All these results indicate that the singlet SC is realized in NaxCoO2·yH2O. Only the result that the curve of the nuclear relaxation rate 1/T1plotted against T does not have a definite coherence peak, cannot simply be explained by the isotropic order parameter.
