Nodal Structure of Unconventional Superconductors Determined by Thermal Conductivity

Y. Matsuda, K. Izawa

The superconducting gap structure, especially the direction of the nodes, is an unresolved issue in most of unconventional superconductors. Recently it has been demonstrated that the thermal conductivity \kappa is a powerful tool for probing the nodal structure. Here measuring \kappa in H rotating within the basal plane, we discuss the nodal structure of the unconventional superconductors, spin-triplet Sr2RuO4, heavy fermion CeCoIn5, organic \kappa -(BEDT-TTF)2Cu(NCS)2, and borocarbide YNi2B2C.
