Abstract
The universal heat conduction and the scaling relations are the hallmarks of nodal superconductors. Here we study the scaling relations in the quasiparticle density of states and the thermal conductivity of the A and the B phases of the skutterudite PrOs4 Sb12. Experimental verification of these scaling relations will provide a further test of the gap functions proposed in [K. Maki, et al., Europhys. Lett. 68 (2004) 720].
