Y. Tanuma et al., EFFECTS OF ATOMIC-SCALE ROUGHNESS AT THE SURFACE OF D(X(2)-Y(2))-WAVESUPERCONDUCTOR, Physica. C, Superconductivity, 282, 1997, pp. 1857-1858
The quasiparticle properties of d(x2-y2)-wave superconductor near the
rough surfaces is calculated using extended Hubbard model. Here, we ca
lculate the local density of states (LDOS) near the surface with atomi
c-scale roughness, and investigate the correlation between the appeara
nce of the zero energy states (ZES) and the surface roughness. In orde
r to obtain the energy spectrum of quasiparticles, or LDOS, a numerica
l method is developed which is suitable to treat the disorder in the a
tomic-scale order length.
