Raman scattering in nonsuperconducting and superconducting cobaltates Na_xCoO₂ · y H₂O shows pronounced anomalies in the phonon as well as the electronic contribution to the scattering cross section. The effect of doping and hydration on these anomalies is studied and used for a characterization of single crystals and thin films.
