Details of disorder matter in 2D d-wave superconductors

Within numerically exact solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations, w e demonstrate that discrepancies between predicted low-energy quasiparticle properties in disordered 2D d-wave superconductors occur because of the un anticipated importance of disorder model details and normal state particle- hole symmetry. For the realistic case, which is best described by a binary alloy model without particle-hole symmetry, we predict density-of-stats sup pression below an energy scale which appears to be correlated with the corr esponding single impurity resonance.
