Abstract

We consider the superfluid density tensor ρs in both singlet and triplet unconventional superconductors. We develop theoretical expressions for ρs which incorporate both band-structure effects and impurity scattering; these expressions simplify considerably in the Ginzburg-Landau region close to Tc. We also present the results of numerical calculations showing ρs as a function of temperature for several different unconventional order parameters.
