✦ Synopsis

We investigate superconducting properties coming from non-trivial nodal structures in superconducting order parameters within a framework of the weak coupling limit. We mostly concentrate our attention on the specific heat and the density of states. We apply the results to a non-magnetic borocarbide superconductor such as YNi 2 B 2 C. We also generalize the results.
