We theoretically investigate the quasiparticle scattering rate $varGamma$ inside a vortex core in the existence of non-magnetic impurities distributed randomly in a superconductor. We show that the dependence of $varGamma$ on the magnetic field direction is sensitive to the sign of the pair potential. The behavior of $varGamma$ is quite different between an s-wave and a d-wave pair potential, where these are assumed to have the same amplitude anisotropy, but a sign change only for the d-wave one. It is suggested that measurements of the microwave surface impedance with changing applied-field directions would be used for the phase-sensitive identification of pairing symmetry.

We theoretically study the dependence of the quasiparticle (QP) scattering rate $varGamma$ on the uniaxial anisotropy of a Fermi surface with changing the magnetic field angle $alpha_{rm M}$. We consider the QP scattering due to the non-magnetic impu
rities inside a single vortex core. The field-angle dependence of the quasiparticle scattering rate $varGamma(alpha_{rm M})$ is sensitive to the sign-change of the pair potential. We show that with increasing the two dimensionality of the system, $varGamma(alpha_{rm M})$ reflects more clearly whether there is the sign-change in the pair potential.
We investigate the field-angle-dependent zero-energy density of states for YNi2B2C with using realistic Fermi surfaces obtained by band calculations. Both the 17th and 18th bands are taken into account. For calculating the oscillating density of stat
es, we adopt the Kramer-Pesch approximation, which is found to improve accuracy in the oscillation amplitude. We show that superconducting gap structure determined by analyzing STM experiments is consistent with thermal transport and heat capacity measurements.
We study the spatial distribution of the density of states (DOS) at zero bias N(r) in the mixed state of single and multigap superconductors. We provide an analytic expression for N(r) based on deGennes relation between DOS and the order parameter th
at reproduces well Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) data in several superconducting materials. In the single gap superconductor $beta$-Bi$_2$Pd, we find that N(r) is governed by a length scale $xi_H=sqrt{phi_0/2pi H}$, which decreases in rising fields. The vortex core size $cal C$, defined via the slope of the order parameter at the vortex center, $cal C$ $propto (d Delta /dr |_{r to 0})^{-1}$, differs from $xi_H$ by a material dependent numerical factor. For two gap superconductors 2H-NbSe$_{1.8}$S$_{0.2}$ and 2H-NbS$_2$, we find that $cal C$ is field independent and has the same value for both bands. We conclude that, independently of the magnetic field induced variation of the order parameter values in both bands, the spatial variation of the order parameter close to the vortex core is the same for all bands.
Charge doping of iron-pnictide superconductors leads to collective pinning of flux vortices, whereas isovalent doping does not. Moreover, flux pinning in the charge-doped compounds is consistently described by the mean-free path fluctuations introduc
ed by the dopant atoms, allowing for the extraction of the elastic quasiparticle scattering rate. The absence of scattering by dopant atoms in isovalently doped BaFe$_{2}$(As$_{1-x}$P$_{x}$)$_{2}$ is consistent with the observation of a linear temperature dependence of the low-temperature penetration depth in this material.
We present a theory of quasiparticle Hall transport in strongly type-II superconductors within their vortex state. We establish the existence of integer quantum spin Hall effect in clean unconventional $d_{x^2-y^2}$ superconductors in the vortex stat
e from a general analysis of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation. The spin Hall conductivity $sigma^s_{xy}$ is shown to be quantized in units of $frac{hbar}{8pi}$. This result does not rest on linearization of the BdG equations around Dirac nodes and therefore includes inter-nodal physics in its entirety. In addition, this result holds for a generic inversion-symmetric lattice of vortices as long as the magnetic field $B$ satisfies $H_{c1} ll B ll H_{c2}$. We then derive the Wiedemann-Franz law for the spin and thermal Hall conductivity in the vortex state. In the limit of $T to 0$, the thermal Hall conductivity satisfies $kappa_{x y}=frac{4pi^2}{3}(frac{k_B}{hbar})^2 T sigma^s_{xy}$. The transitions between different quantized values of $sigma^s_{xy}$ as well as relation to conventional superconductors are discussed.
