Abstract
We studied the field dependencies of specific heat coefficient and thermal conductivity coefficient of the -wave state in the mixed state. It is a generic feature of the two band -wave state with the unequal sizes of gaps, small and large , that Doppler shift of the quasiparticle excitations (Volovik effect) creates a finite density of states, on the extended states outside of vortex cores, proportional to in contrast to the dependence of the -wave state. The impurity scattering effect makes this generic -linear dependence sublinear approaching to the behavior. Our calculations of successfully fit the experimental data of with different Co-doping by systematically varying the gap size ratio . We also resolve the dilemma of a substantial value of but almost zero value of . DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.217001 © 2010 The American Physical Society
