Delafossite oxides have recently attracted considerable attention because of their fascinating transport properties[1]. PdCoO2 and PtCoO2 are the most conductive oxides known at room temperature, with resistivities comparable to those of silver, copper and gold[2, 3]. This high conductivity is attributed to a single broad band crossing the Fermi level[3]. However, due to the polarity of the structure the electronic properties at the surfaces can be very different to those of the bulk[4]. We use angle resolved photoemission (ARPES) to show that the CoO2 terminated surfaces of (Pd,Pt)CoO2 do host a set of states which do not appear in the bulk, with much higher masses and stronger interactions. Comparing ARPES with density functional theory and model tight-binding calculations, we investigate the origin of these states, paying special attention to the role of the spin-orbit coupling.
