Description

Abstract:

The unconventional superconductivity of Sr2RuO4 has remained a mystery for over 25 years, even though its normal metallic state is quite well understood. Reaching a consensus on the bulk order parameter symmetry has been primarily difficult due to the discrepancies that exist between several major experimental evidences [1]. We use resonant ultrasound spectroscopy to measure the entire symmetry-resolved elastic tensor of Sr2RuO4 through the superconducting transition. We observe a thermodynamic discontinuity in the shear elastic modulus c66, requiring that the superconducting order parameter is two-component [2]. We also find an anomalous increase in compressional sound attenuation immediately below Tc, in sharp disagreement with what is found in both conventional (s-wave) and high-Tc (d-wave) superconductors.
