Abstract

Recent experiments on Sr2RuO4 have indicated the presence of linear nodes in the superconducting order parameter. Among the possible spin triplet states, two-dimensional (2D) p-wave superconductivity with Eu symmetry appears to be inconsistent with the experiments, whereas the 2D f-wave order parameter with B1g×Eu symmetry turns out to be a more likely candidate. Here it is shown how the quasiparticle bound-state wave functions around a single impurity provide a clear signature of the symmetry of the underlying superconducting order parameter.
