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 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 کامل0 Temperature dependence of impurity bound states in d x 2 − y 2 - wave superconductors
We study the evolution with temperature of quasiparticle bound states around non-magnetic impurities in dx2−y2-wave superconductors. The associated local density of states has a fourfold symmetry which has recently been observed in Zn-doped Bi2212 using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). From the corresponding Bogoliubov-de Gennes equation we find that with increasing temperature the magnitud...
متن کاملImpurity bound states in fully gapped d-wave superconductors with subdominant order parameters
Impurities in superconductors and their induced bound states are important both for engineering novel states such as Majorana zero-energy modes and for probing bulk properties of the superconducting state. The high-temperature cuprates offer a clear advantage in a much larger superconducting order parameter, but the nodal energy spectrum of a pure d-wave superconductor only allows virtual bound...
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...
