Exact summation of vertex corrections to the penetration depth in d-wave superconductors
arXiv:cond-mat/0412261 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.72.052505
Abstract
A variety of experiments suggest that in the cuprates, the low-energy superconducting quasiparticles undergo forward scattering from extended impurity potentials. We argue that when such potentials dominate the scattering, the penetration depth may be computed in a simple zero-angle scattering approximation (ZSA), in which the vertex corrections to the Meissner effect may be summed exactly. We find a remarkably simple relationship between the normal fluid density and the quasiparticle density of states of the disordered system which holds for every realization of the disorder. We expect this result to be relevant to the -plane penetration depth in high-purity single crystals of underdoped YBCO.
