Comment on the anisotropic impurity scattering in superconductors

Superconductivity 2015-06-25 v1

Abstract

We discuss a case of a strong anisotropic impurity scattering within the model introduced in our previous paper [Phys. Rev. B54, 15463 (1996)] and clarify our former statement about a possible enhancement of the critical temperature in this scattering regime. We show that for the anisotropy of the impurity potential determined by the functions from the non-identity irreducible representations of the crystal point group, the critical temperature decreases with the impurity scattering rate which is consistent with a generally understood role of disorder in superconductors.
