Superconductivity 2007-05-23 v1 Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics

Abstract

Presented is the theory of thermal Hall conductivity κxy\kappa_{xy} in the vortex state of high temperature cuprate superconductors in the clean limit. We show that limT0κxy/T\lim_{T \to 0} \kappa_{xy}/T is a {\em staircase} function of 1/B with an envelope that scales as 1/B. The relation to the experiments is discussed.
