Effect of Anisotropic Impurity Scattering in a d-Wave Superconductor

A. Maciag, P. Pisarski, G. Haran

We study the impurity effect on the superconducting d-wave state accounting for the momentum-dependent impurity potential. We discuss the impurity-induced critical temperature suppression, local density of states in the vicinity of a single impurity, and the density of states in a superconductor with a spatial impurity distribution.
