Abstract
On the basis of the Bogolubov-de Gennes theory we develop an analytical description of low-energy extended quasiparticle states around an isolated flux line in a superconductor with gap nodes. The wavefunctions of these excitations and the corresponding density of states are shown to be strongly influenced by the interaction with a pure gauge potential due to the Aharonov-Bohm scenario.
