Abstract

We have calculated the density of states of quasiparticles in a dx2-y2+idxy superconductor, and show that in the mixed state the quasiparticle spectrum remains gapless because of the Doppler shift by superflow. It was found that if the dxy order gap Δ1 H as suggested by experiments, then thermal conductivity κ H in accord with experimental data at lowest temperatures. This is an appended version of the paper published in Phys. Rev. B 59, 6024, (1999). We now also discuss the disorder effects and analyze the H log H crossover at small fields. We argue that H log H regime is present and disorder effect is dominant as the field-induced seconary gap is small at small fields.
