Complex order parameter symmetry and thermal conductivity
Abstract
Thermal behaviour of superconductors with complex order parameter symmetry is studied within a weak coupling theory. It is shown numerically, that the thermal nature of the different components of complex order parametrs are qualitatively different. Within the complex order parameter scenario, the recent experimental observations by Krishna {\it et al.}, [Science {\bf 277}, 83 (1997)] on magnetothermal conductivity and by J. Ma {\it et al.},
[Science {\bf 267}, 862 (1995)] on temperature dependent gap anisotropy for high temperature superconductors can have natural explanation.
