摘要
Microwave conductivity experiments can directly measure the quasiparticle scattering rate in the superconducting state. We show that this, combined with knowledge of the Fermi surface geometry, can distinguish between closely related superconducting order parameters, e.g., d(x2-y2) and d(xy) superconductivity. We benchmark this method on YBa2Cu3O7-(delta) and, unsurprisingly, confirm that this is a d(x2-y2) superconductor. We then apply our method to kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)Cu[N(CN)(2)]Br, which we discover is a d(xy), superconductor.
