摘要
Low-temperature heat capacity of the organic superconductor lambda-(BETS)(2)GaCl4 in a temperature range between 0.6 and 10K was measured for a single crystal sample by relaxation calorimetry technique. The contribution of electronic heat capacity in the superconducting state shows T-2 dependence at lower temperature that indicates the existence of quasi-particle excitations from the line-nodal gap structure of d-wave pairing. The recovery of the electronic heat capacity coefficient, gamma by magnetic field shows H-1/2 dependence that is consistent with the picture of line-nodal superconductor. In spite of the different packing from typical organic superconductors kappa-(BEDT-TTF)(2)X, the lambda-type BETS salt also shows a feature of d-wave symmetry pairing.
