Thermal conductivity of Ca3Rh4Sn13and Sr3Ir4Sn13were measured in magnetic fields to reveal superconducting state. From magnetic susceptibilityχ(T) and electrical resistivityρ(T) measurements, superconducting transition temperatureTcof Ca3Rh4Sn13and Sr3Ir4Sn13is determined to be 8 and 5 K, respectively. Thermal conductivityκ(T) of Ca3Rh4Sn13indicates that superconducting state is nodelesss-wave, because residual thermal conductivityκ0/Tin zero magnetic field is very small. On the other hand,κ(T) of Sr3Ir4Sn13in zero magnetic field suggests that superconductivity possesses nodal gap rather than full gap. Whether nodal superconducting gap exists or not still remains to be clarified, because there is a possibility that the achieving temperature is insufficient to discuss superconducting state.
