Popis: Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy has been performed to investigate the Fermi surface (FS) and the electronic structure of misfit cobaltites, by comparing ${[{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}]}_{p}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{2}$ with $[{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Ba}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}]{}_{0.50}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{2}$. In $[{\mathrm{Bi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Sr}}_{2}{\mathrm{O}}_{4}]{}_{0.51}{\mathrm{CoO}}_{2}$, we observed a suppression of spectral weight near the Fermi energy. Nevertheless, the FS can be mapped out by measuring the photoelectron intensity distribution. The FS size changes with temperature. Additionally, results show that the electronic band structure at a higher binding energy was changed by changing the sample temperature. Our results provide insight into the characteristics of the pseudogap state in the misfit-layered cobaltites. The unusual properties are probably related to the local deformations of the incommensurate structure.
