摘要
We investigate the mutual influence of impurities in two-dimensional d-wave superconductors involving self-consistent solutions of the Bogoliubov-de Gennes equations. The local order parameter suppression, the local density of states as well as the interference of impurity-induced structures are analyzed. We employ an impurity position averaging scheme for the density of states that does not neglect these interference effects, as the commonly used T-matrix approaches do. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd.
