Finite Density of States in a Mixed State of d_x^2-y^2+id_xy Superconductor
Abstract
We have calculated the density of states of quasiparticles in a d_x^2-y^2+id_xy superconductor, and show that in the mixed state the quasiparticle spectrum remains gapless because of the Doppler shift by superflow. It was found that if the d_{xy} order gap $Δ_1\propto \sqrt{H}$ as suggested by experiments, then thermal conductivity $κ\propto \sqrt{H}$ in accord with experimental data at lowest temperatures. This is an appended version of the paper published in Phys. Rev. {\bf B 59}, 6024, (1999). We now also discuss the disorder effects and analyze the H log H crossover at small fields. We argue that H log H regime is present and disorder effect is dominant as the field-induced seconary gap is small at small fields.
