Quasiparticle transport in the vortex state of d-wave superconductors

Superconductivity 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We calculate the magnetic field and temperature dependence of the Raman response, superfluid density and the NMR relaxation rate in the vortex state of a d-wave superconductor arising from the Doppler energy shift of extended quasiparticle states. Our results are valid both at low temperatures, where we observe scaling with variable TH1/2TH^{-1/2} and obtain explicit form of the scaling functions, and beyond this region. We derive a universal frequency dependent scaling relation for the Raman response, and discuss the breakdown of the single relaxation rate approach to NMR response.
