Quantum Interference Phenomena Between Impurity States in d-wave Superconductors

Superconductivity 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We investigate the mutual influence of impurities in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors involving self-consistent 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 these interference effects, as the commonly used TT-matrix approaches do.
