Quantum Interference Phenomena Between Impurity States in d-wave Superconductors
We investigate the mutual influence of impurities in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors involving selfconsistent solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The local order parameter suppression, the local density of states (LDOS) as well as the interference of impurity-induced structures are analyzed. We employ an impurity position averaging scheme for the DOS that does not neglect th...
متن کاملReal-Space Approach to Quasiparticle Interference in Metals and Superconductors
Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) has been a success in the study of the electronic structure of normal metals and cuprate superconductors, and the technique has greatly improved during the last decade. In a typical STM experiment, a tip is held above the material in vacuum and a bias voltage is applied across the tip-material interface. This results in a tunneling current between the tip and...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions in d-wave superconductors
Motivated by the strong, low temperature damping of nodal quasiparticles observed in some cuprate superconductors, we study quantum phase transitions in d(x(2)-y(2)) superconductors with a spin-singlet, zero momentum, fermion bilinear order parameter. We present a complete, group-theoretic classification of such transitions into seven distinct cases (including cases with nematic order) and anal...
متن کاملQuantum interference effect on the density of states in disordered d-wave superconductors
The quantum interference effect on the quasiparticle density of states (DOS) is studied with the diagrammatic technique in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors with dilute nonmagnetic impurities both near the Born and near the unitary limits. We derive in details the expressions of the Goldstone modes (cooperon and diffuson) for quasiparticle diffusion. The DOS for generic Fermi surfaces is s...
متن کاملQuantum corrals, eigenmodes, and quantum mirages in s-wave superconductors.
We study the electronic structure of magnetic and nonmagnetic quantum corrals embedded in two-dimensional s-wave superconductors. We demonstrate that a quantum mirage of an impurity bound state is projected from the occupied into the empty focus of a nonmagnetic quantum corral via the excitation of the corral's eigenmodes. We show that quantum corrals provide a new tool for manipulating the int...
