We present high resolution heat capacity measurements of the organic superconductors kappa-(ET)(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)]Br and kappa-(ET)(2)Cu(NCS)(2) in fields up to 14 T. We use the high field data to determine the normal state specific heat and hence extract the behavior of the electronic specific heat C(el) in the superconducting state in zero and finite fields. We find that in both materials for T/T(c) less or similar 0.3, C(el)(H=0) approximately T2 indicating d-wave superconductivity. The data are well described by a strong coupling d-wave model from our base temperature (T/T(c) approximately 0.1) right up to T(c). Our data help to resolve the controversy regarding the order parameter symmetry in these materials.
我们展示了有机超导体κ-(ET)₂Cu[N(CN)₂]Br和κ-(ET)₂Cu(NCS)₂在高达14 T磁场中的高分辨率热容量测量结果。我们利用高场数据确定正常态比热,从而提取零场和有限场中超导态下电子比热C(el)的行为。我们发现,在这两种材料中,当T/T(c)≤0.3时,C(el)(H = 0)∝T²,表明是d波超导。从我们的基温(T/T(c)≈0.1)一直到T(c),数据都能很好地用强耦合d波模型来描述。我们的数据有助于解决关于这些材料中序参量对称性的争议。
