Abstract
In the heavy-fermion superconductor U1−xThxBe13, superconducting states coexist for thorium concentrations 0≤x≤0.06. Assuming s-wave and d-wave symmetries for these states, we derive a Ginzburg-Landau free-energy expression which couples s- and d-wave states and is rotationally invariant, in contrast to the free-energy expression proposed by P. Kumar and P. Wölfle Phys. Rev. Lett. 59 1954 1987. We discuss in detail the consequences that follow from our free-energy relation. In particular, we predict that in the above system there are two eigenfrequencies associated with the dynamics of phase oscillations (internal Josephson effect) which are characteristic of the s-wave and d-wave states.
