Thermal conductivity and specific heat were measured in the superconducting state of the heavy-fermion material Ce(1-x)La(x)CoIn5. With increasing impurity concentration x, the suppression of T(c) is accompanied by the increase in residual electronic specific heat expected of a d-wave superconductor, but it occurs in parallel with a decrease in residual electronic thermal conductivity. This contrasting behavior reveals the presence of uncondensed electrons coexisting with nodal quasiparticles. An extreme multiband scenario is proposed, with a d-wave superconducting gap on the heavy-electron sheets of the Fermi surface and a negligible gap on the light, three-dimensional pockets.
在重费米子材料Ce(1 - x)La(x)CoIn5的超导态下测量了热导率和比热容。随着杂质浓度x的增加,Tc的抑制伴随着d波超导体预期的剩余电子比热容的增加,但它与剩余电子热导率的降低同时发生。这种相反的行为揭示了未凝聚电子与节点准粒子共存的存在。提出了一种极端多带情形,在费米面的重电子片上有一个d波超导能隙,而在轻的三维口袋上能隙可忽略不计。
