Effects of disorder on the transmission of nodal fermions through a d-wave superconductor

arXiv:1012.4511 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.83.134519

Abstract

The bulk microwave conductivity of a dirty d-wave superconductor is known to depend sensitively on the range of the disorder potential: long-range scattering enhances the conductivity, while short- range scattering has no effect. Here we show that the three-terminal electrical conductance of a normal-metal-d-wave superconductor-normal-metal junction has a dual behavior: short-range scattering suppresses the conductance, while long-range scattering has no effect.
