Abstract
We report measurements of the in-plane electrical resistivity P and thermal conductivity K of the intercalated graphite superconductor C6Yb down to temperatures as low as Tc/100. When a field is applied along the c axis, the residual electronic linear term K0/T evolves in an exponential manner for Hc1<H<Hc2/2. This activated behavior is compelling evidence for an s-wave order parameter, and is a strong argument against the possible existence of multigap superconductivity.
