Thermal conductivity in superconducting borocarbides LuNi2B2C and YNi2B2C

Abstract

We have recently proposed the s+g wave model for superconducting borocarbides. In spite of a substantial s-wave component, this order parameter exhibits the H1/2 dependent specific heat and a thermal conductivity linear in H in the vortex state. This is characteristic for nodal superconductors when T, << where is the quasiparticle scattering rate and the maximum superconducting gap. Here we investigate the thermal conductivity parallel to the c- and a- axis in a magnetic field tilted by θ from the c- axis and rotating within the a-b plane.
