This article derives an electron-phonon interaction suitable for interpreting ultrasonic attenuation measurements in the ruthenate and cuprate superconductors. The huge anisotropy found experimentally (Lupien et al., 2001) in Sr2RuO4 in the…
This work presents a quantitative theoretical study of the sound attenuation in the unconventional multiband superconductor Sr2RuO4 below the superconducting transition temperature Tc. Sound attenuation in this material is shown to have the…
We calculate the ultrasonic attenuation in magnetic fields for superconducting states with line nodes vertical or horizontal relative to the RuO_2 planes. This theory, which is valid for fields near Hc2 and not too low temperatures, takes…
We develop a theory of ultrasound decay rate $\alpha$ in a model of a superconductor with a large pseudogap $\Delta_P$, and show that at low temperatures ($T \ll T_c$) the magnitude of the decay rate $\alpha$ is controlled by the ratio of…
Recent experiments suggest that the superconducting order parameter of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ has two components. A two-component order parameter has multiple degrees of freedom in the superconducting state that can result in low-energy collective…
We provide a detailed quantitative analysis of transport properties in the p-wave superconducting state of Sr2RuO4. Specifically, we calculate ultrasound attenuation rate and electronic thermal conductivity within the mean field…
We have used thermal conduction and transverse sound attenuation to probe the anisotropy of the gap structure in two superconducting phases of UPt$_3$. For the low-temperature phase B, transverse sound has in the past provided strong…
The ab-plane optical spectra of two single crystals of underdoped La_(2-x)Sr_xCuO_4 were investigated. The reflectivity of La_(1.87)Sr_(0.13)CuO_4 has been measured in the frequency range 30- 9,000 cm-1 (0.004 -- 1 eV) both parallel and…
Despite numerous studies the exact nature of the order parameter in superconducting Sr2RuO4 remains unresolved. We have extended previous small-angle neutron scattering studies of the vortex lattice in this material to a wider field range,…
The thermal conductivity of Sr2RuO4 along the least conducting direction perpendicular to the RuO2 plane has been studied down to 0.3 K. In this configuration the phonons remain the dominant heat carriers down to the lowest temperature, and…
We present a new method of determining the anisotropy of the gap function in layered high-Tc superconductors. Careful inelastic neutron scattering measurements at low temperature of the phonon dispersion curves in the (100) direction in…
We calculate the low temperature longitudinal ultrasonic attenuation rate $\alpha_S$ in clean d-wave superconductors. We consider the contribution of previously ignored processes involving the excitation of a pair of quasi-holes or…
We study the superconducting state of Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ on the bases of a phenomenological but orbital specific description of the electron-electron attraction and a realistic quantitative account of the electronic structure in the normal…
The body centered tetragonal structure of Sr_2RuO_4 gives rise to umklapp scattering enhanced inter-plane pair correlations in the d_{yz} and d_{zx} orbitals. Based on symmetry arguments, Hund's rule coupling, and a bosonized description of…

We present the first detailed data of the momentum-resolved, temperature dependence of the superconducting gap of $Bi_{2}Sr_{2}Ca_{1}Cu_{2}O_{8+x}$, complemented by similar data on the intensity of the photoemission superconducting…
The longitudinal ultrasonic attenuation at low temperatures for a $d$-wave superconducting order parameter is examined. The ratio of the superconducting to normal state attenuation, $\alpha_{s}/\alpha_{n}$, depends strongly on the direction…
The gap anisotropy in Bi$_2$Sr$_2$CaCu$_2$O$_{8+\delta}$ is revisited in the framework of a d-wave scenario in view of the recent angle-resolved photoemission experiment. Based on a tight-binding fit to the normal state dispersion, a detail…
Critical behavior of the infrared reflectivity of RuSr_2GdCu_2O_8 ceramics is observed near the superconducting T_{SC} = 45 K and magnetic T_M = 133 K transition temperatures. The optical conductivity reveals the typical features of the…
Transverse ultrasound attenuation provides a weakly-coupled probe of momentum current correlations in electronic systems. We develop a simple theory for the interpretation of transverse ultrasound attenuation coefficients in systems with…
