Abstract
We study time reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity with ( or ) symmetries. It is shown that the behavior of such superconductors could be {\em qualitatively} different depending on the minor components () and its phase at lower temperatures. It is argued that such {\em qualitatively different} behaviors in thermal as well as in angular dependencies could be a {\em source} of consequences in transport and Josephson physics. Orthorhombicity is found to be a strong mechanism for mixed phase (in case of ). We show that due to electron correlation the order parameter is more like a pure symmetry near optimum doping.
