 abstract = {The newly discovered noncentrosymmetric superconductor ThCoC2 exhibits
numerous types of unconventional behavior in the field dependent heat
capacity data. Here we present the first measurement of the gap symmetry
of ThCoC2 by muon spin rotation and relaxation (mu SR) measurements. The
temperature dependence of the magnetic penetration depth measured using
the transverse field mu SR experiment reveals the evidence of a nodal
pairing symmetry. To understand this finding, we carry out calculations
of the superconducting pairing eigenvalue and eigenfunction (pairing
symmetry) due to the spin-fluctuation mechanism by directly implementing
the ab initio band structures. We find that the system possesses a
single Fermi surface with considerable three dimensionality and a strong
nesting along the k(z) direction. Such nesting promotes a
superconducting state with a cos k(z)-like pairing symmetry with a
prominent nodal line on the k(z) = +/-pi/2 plane. The result agrees well
with the experimental data.},
