Transport and the Order Parameter of Superconducting Sr$_2$RuO$_4$

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Recent experiments make it appear more likely that the order parameter of the unconventional superconductor Sr2_2RuO4_4 has a spin-triplet ff-wave symmetry. We study ultrasonic absorption and thermal conductivity of superconducting Sr2_2RuO4_4 and fit to the recent data for various ff-wave candidates. It is shown that only fx2y2f_{x^2-y^2}-wave symmetry can account qualitatively for the transport data.
