We consider the effect of non-magnetic impurities in a $d_{x^2 - y^2}$ superconductor with $\ef$ close to a van Hove singularity. It is shown that the non-trivial density of states (DOS) allows for resonant scattering already at…
Using an extended Anderson/Kondo impurity model to describe the magnetic moments around an impurity doped in high-$T_{\text{c}}$ d-wave cuprates and in the framework of the slave-boson meanfield approach, we study numerically the impurity…
We demonstrate that quantum interference of electronic waves that are scattered by multiple magnetic impurities in an s-wave superconductor gives rise to novel bound states. We predict that by varying the inter-impurity distance or the…
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…
A theory for the effect of impurity scattering on electronic Raman scattering in unconventional superconductors is presented. The impurity dependence of the the spectra can be used to to distinguish between conventional (anisotropic…
Influence of weak nonmagnetic impurities on the single-particle density of states $\rho(\omega)$ of two-dimensional electron systems with a conical spectrum is studied. We use a nonperturbative approach, based on replica trick with…
A single impurity problem is investigated for multiband s-wave superconductors with different sign order parameters (+-s-wave superconductors) suggested in Fe-pnictide superconductors. Not only intraband but also interband scattering is…
It is shown that a single, strongly scattering impurity produces a bound or a virtual bound quasiparticle state inside the gap in a $d$-wave superconductor. The explicit form of the bound state wave function is found to decay exponentially…
Tunneling conductance spectra between a normal metal / d-wave superconductor junction under the presence of bulk impurities in the superconductor are studied. The quasiclassical theory has been applied to calculate the spatial variation of…
Quantum impurity models are prevalent throughout many body physics, providing some prime examples of strongly correlated systems. Aside from being of great interest in themselves they can provide deep insight into the effects of strong…
The low-energy quasiparticle states of a disordered d-wave superconductor are investigated theoretically. A class of such states, formed via tunneling between the Andreev bound states that are localized around extended impurities (and…
We present a method to compute the density of states induced by N non magnetic impurities in a d-wave superconductor, in the unitary limit of very strong scatering centers. For frequencies very small as compared to the superconducting gap…
We study theoretically the effect of impurity scattering in f-wave (or E_{2u}) superconductors. The quasi-particle density of states of f-wave superconductor is very similar to the one for d-wave superconductor as in hole-doped high T_c…
We show that the changes in the electronic density of states (DOS) in graphene induced by impurity scattering with short-range potentials are completely different from those caused by the long-range Coulomb potential. The spectral weight of…
The single-impurity problem in d-wave superconductors with asymmetric bands is discussed. The effect of local order parameter suppression near the impurity is to shift the quasiparticle resonance. Contrary to previous work [A. Shnirman et…
We determine the effect of quasiparticle interference on the spatial variations of the local density of states (LDOS) in graphite in the neighborhood of an isolated impurity. A number of characteristic behaviors of interference are…
We demonstrate that the problem of coupled two-level systems ("qubits") which are also subject to a generic (sub)Ohmic dissipative environment belongs to the same class of models as those describing (non)magnetic impurities embedded in…
We examine the role of order-parameter suppression in the development of low-energy peaks (i.e., resonances) in the tunneling density of states near a non-magnetic impurity in a d-wave superconductor. Without order-parameter suppression,…
We study the effect of a single non-magnetic impurity in A$_{y}$Fe$_{2-x}$Se$_{2}$ (A=K, Rb, or Cs) superconductors by considering various pairing states based on a three-orbital model consistent with the photoemission experiments. The…
We study the impurity effect in the time reversal symmetry (${\cal T}$) breaking superconductor based on the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) equations. In ${\cal T}$-violating superconductors, spontaneous currents are induced around the…
