Description

Now the spin triplet superconductivity in Sr2RuO4 is well established. As to the nodal structures seen in high quality samples, there are two alternative models at present: a. 2D f-wave model with Δ(k) ∼ (k-circumflexx ± ik-circumflexy) cos(ckz) and b. the multigap model with Δ1(k) ∼ (k-circumflexx ± ik-circumflexy) and Δ2(k) ∼ (k-circumflexx ± ik-circumflexy) cos(ckz/2). In this paper we calculate the optical conductivity for T << Te in the 2D f-wave model and show that it differs significantly from those in the multigap model. (author)
