Abstract

We calculate superfluid density for a dirty d-wave superconductor. The effects of impurity scattering are treated within the self-consistent t-matrix approximation, in weak-coupling BCS theory. Working from a realistic tight-binding parametrization of the Fermi surface, we find a superfluid density that is both correlated with Tc and linear in temperature, in good correspondence with recent experiments on overdoped La2−xSrxCuO4.
