Summary

Chapter 7 studies the single-impurity scattering effect on the density of states and other physical quantities. A low-energy resonance state induced by a unitary scattering potential is shown to exist in a d-wave superconductor, but is absent in an s-wave superconductor. The tunneling spectrum associated with a Zn impurity and the phenomenological theory of quasiparticle interference are discussed and compared with the experimental results. The in-gap resonance or bound states induced by a magnetic impurity and the Kondo effect in a d-wave superconductor are also discussed.
