Quasiparticle conductivities in disordered d-wave superconductors.
We study the quasiparticle transport coefficients in disordered d-wave superconductors. We find that spin and charge excitations are generally localized unless magnetic impurities are present. If the system is close to a nesting point in the impurity-scattering unitary limit, the tendency towards localization is reduced while the quasiparticle density of states gets enhanced by disorder. We als...
متن کاملQuasiparticle localization in disordered d-wave superconductors
An extensive numerical study is reported on the disorder effect in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors with random impurities in the unitary limit. It is found that a sharp resonant peak shows up in the density of states at zero energy and correspondingly the finite-size spin conductance is strongly enhanced which results in a nonuniversal feature in one-parameter scaling. However, all quasi...
متن کاملQuantum phase transitions in d-wave superconductors
Motivated by the strong, low temperature damping of nodal quasiparticles observed in some cuprate superconductors, we study quantum phase transitions in d(x(2)-y(2)) superconductors with a spin-singlet, zero momentum, fermion bilinear order parameter. We present a complete, group-theoretic classification of such transitions into seven distinct cases (including cases with nematic order) and anal...
متن کاملThermodynamic transitions in inhomogeneous d-wave superconductors
We study the spectral and thermodynamic properties of inhomogeneous d-wave superconductors within a model where the inhomogeneity originates from atomic-scale pair disorder. This assumption has been shown to be consistent with the small charge and large gap modulations observed by scanning tunneling spectroscopy on Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x. Here we calculate the specific heat within the same model, and ...
متن کاملNonlinear ac resistivity in s-wave and d-wave disordered granular superconductors.
We model s-wave and d-wave disordered granular superconductors with a three-dimensional lattice of randomly distributed Josephson junctions. The nonlinear ac resistivity rho(2) of these systems was calculated using Langevin dynamical equations. The current amplitude dependence of rho(2) at the peak position is found to be a power law characterized by exponent alpha, which is not universal but d...
