Abstract

We consider the influence of a magnetic field H on quasiparticle bound states near scalar impurities in d-wave superconductors. A “Doppler shift” in the excitation energies induced by the supercurrent leads to several important effects. At large but finite impurity strength, there are corrections to the energy and width of the impurity-induced resonance, proportional to H2. On the other hand, in the limit of very strong impurity potential (unitary limit), the bound state is destroyed, and acquires a finite width proportional to H(lnH)−1. There are also considerable changes in the asymptotic behavior of the bound-state wave functions.
