摘要
A magnetic field in the a-b plane of an untwinned single crystal of YBa2Cu3O7-x (Tc=92 K) is found to induce field-dependent off-diagonal elements in the thermal conductivity tensor at 10 K. The principal axes of the field-dependent part of the tensor lie along equivalent 110 directions; a principal component is maximized when the field is along the corresponding principal axis. A model that considers Andreev reflection of thermally excited quasiparticles by vortex screening currents gives semiquantitative agreement with experiment only if the gap function has nodes in the vicinity of 110. © 1995 The American Physical Society.
