Abstract
The electronic structure of the insulating sodium tungsten bronze, $Na_0_._0_2_5WO_3$, is investigated by high-resolution angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We find that near$-E_F$ states are localized due to the strong disorder arising from random distribution of $Na^+$ ions in the $WO_3$ lattice, which makes the system insulating. The temperature dependence of photoemission spectra provides direct evidence for polaron formation. The remnant Fermi surface of the insulator is found to be the replica of the real Fermi surface in the metallic system.
