Abstract

We study an Anderson impurity embedded in a d-wave superconductor carrying a supercurrent. The low-energy impurity behavior is investigated by using the numerical renormalization group method developed for arbitrary electronic bath spectra. The results explicitly show that the local impurity state is completely screened upon the nonzero current intensity. The impurity quantum criticality is in accordance with the well-known Kosterlitz-Thouless transition.
