Abstract
We establish universal behavior in temperature dependencies of some observables in -wave BCS superconductivity in the presence of a weak wave. There also could appear a second second-order phase transition. As temperature is lowered past the usual critical temperature , a less ordered superconducting phase is created in wave, which changes to a more ordered phase in wave at (). The presence of two phase transitions manifest in two jumps in specific heat at and . The temperature dependencies of susceptibility, penetration depth, and thermal conductivity also confirm the new phase transition.
