Scaling Relations in the Vortex State of Nodal Superconductors

Superconductivity 2009-11-11 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

In contrast to multigap superconductors (e.g. MgB2_{2}), the low-temperature properties of nodal superconductors are dominated by nodal excitations. Here we extend for a variety of nodal superocnductors the earlier work by Simon and Lee and K\"ubert and Hirschfeld. The scaling relations seen in the thermodynamics and the thermal conductivity will provide an unequivocal test of nodal superconductivity.
