We have measured the transverse ultrasonic attenuation, $\alpha_{q\epsilon}$, in a well-characterized single crystal of $UPt_3$ for propagation direction, ${\bf q}$, in the basal plane and polarization, $\epsilon$, in and out of the plane.…
This paper summarizes the results of a comprehensive analysis of the thermodynamic and transport data for the superconducting phases of UPt_3. Calculations of the transverse sound attenuation as a function of temperature, frequency,…
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…
The field-orientation dependent thermal conductivity of the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt$_3$ was measured down to very low temperatures and under magnetic fields throughout three distinct superconducting phases: A, B, and C phases. In…
The thermal conductivity, $\kappa$, of the heavy fermion superconductor UPt$_3$ was measured down to T$_c$/10. The absence of a linear term in the temperature dependence as T$\rightarrow$0 strongly suggests there are no zero energy…
Recent thermal conductivity measurements on $UPt_3$ single crystals by Lussier et al. indicate the existence of a strong b--c anisotropy in the superconducting state. We calculate the thermal conductivity in various unconventional candidate…
We present a study of the electronic ultrasound attenuation $\alpha$ in the unconventional superconductor Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ . The power law behavior of $\alpha$ at temperatures down to $T_c/30$ clearly indicates the presence of nodes in the…
Although the superconductivity in UPt_3 is one of the most well studied, there are still lingering questions about the nodal directions in the B and C phase in the presence of a magnetic field. Limiting ourselves to the low temperature…
We report new theoretical results and analysis for the transport properties of superconducting UPt3 based on the leading models for the pairing symmetry. We use Fermi surface data and the measured inelastic scattering rate to show that 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 present new measurements of the thermal conductivity of UPt3 down to very low temperatures (16mK) and under magnetic fields (up to 4 T) which cover all the superconducting phases of UPt3. The measurements in zero field are compared with…
The nature of the pseudogap phase of cuprate high-temperature superconductors is a major unsolved problem in condensed matter physics. We studied the commencement of the pseudogap state at temperature T* using three different techniques…
The unconventional superconductor UTe$_2$ represents a rare example of spin-triplet pairing with potentially topologically protected quantum states. However, conflicting reports on its gap structure, particularly regarding point nodes, have…
Thermal conductivity, point contact spectroscopy, angle-resolved photoemission and Raman spectroscopy measurements were performed on BaFe1.9Pt0.1As2 single crystals obtained from the same synthesis batch in order to investigate the…
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 present theoretical calculations of the thermal conductivity for the accidental degeneracy and enlarged symmetry group models that have been proposed to explain the phase diagram of UPt3. The order parameters for these models possess…
We calculate the ultrasonic absorption and the thermal conductivity in the superconducting state of UPt$_{3}$ as functions of temperature and direction of propagation and polarization. Two leading candidates for the superconducting order…
The anisotropic changes in the electronic structure of a metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) material, RuAs, with two-step phase transition are reported by using polarized optical conductivity [$\sigma(\omega)$] spectra, angle-integrated…
In this work, using the scattering matrix method, we have investigated the transmission coefficients and the thermal conductivity in a double-bend waveguide structure. The transmission coefficients show strong resonances due to the…
In two-dimensional materials, structure difference induces the difference in phonon dispersions, leading to the anisotropy of in-plane thermal transport. Here, we report an exceptional case in layered PdSe2, where the bonding, force…
